Brooklyn remembers

Color guard marching through memorial arch at Grand Army Plaza, seen from rear of arch; free-standing column at entrance to Prospect Park visible through arch; high-rise apartment building on Union Street in right background. Caption on verso: "Brooklyn Remembers: American Legion Color Guard passes under Memorial Arch of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument at Grand Army Plaza yesterday as 150,000 lined the three-mile route of the march from Rochester Ave. and Eastern Parkway to the Plaza. Sunny skies smiled down on the marchers, 15,000 strong, in Brooklyn's 86th annual Memorial Day Parade, honoring the nation's Soldiers, Sailors, and Marine dead in all wars in which the United States has participated."
