Blessings

Soldiers at attention, some with regimental and American flags, facing chaplain with raised arm, probably in armory in Park Slope on 8th Ave. and 14th St. Caption: "BLESSINGS: The famous flags of a fighting outfit -- proudly hailed for 100 years as Brooklyn's 'Fighting Fourteenth' and now maintaining its rich heritage as the 187th Field Artillery Group -- are (above) blessed by Maj. (Chaplain) C. J. Troy during 'Departure Day' ceremonies at the 2d Corps Artillery Armory."
