Pendleton's first post-war Fourth of
I July was on the high road to success
j today. The hundreds of uniforms,
many with one or more gold chevrons,
!the gaily decorated streets with their
paintings of Washington, Lincoln and
to gain three great victories. The
. isoldiers of the Spanish war and those
of the Civil War. In parade with the
'sturdy young men of the recent con
jflict, added weight to that picture of
America's victorious struggles,
j . And while hundreds cast care aside
to celebrate and then stopped to re
member the serious side of it all, there
were still the smites on every face.
They were smiles of pride, of thanks
giving, for the men who fought the
fights and came back, for the victory
they won and for the peace which they
made possible. ,
Pendleton Is all smiles today.
