Veterans Parade in Toledo Marks Notable Safety and Cheer
In Toledo on September 2 the Grand Army parade reviewed by Taft and Senator Foraker drew about ten thousand veterans and an estimated crowd of one hundred thousand. Despite heavy attendance, accidents and fatigue were unusually low, with just one lightly bruised veteran and a dozen fatigue cases. Spectators enjoyed themed banners, camp stools, and novelty units from states like Rhode Island, Georgia, South Dakota, and North Dakota. A notable scene featured a National Association of Ex-Prisoners of War contingent amid abundant flowers, while West Virginia's Joe Trax showcased a unique Dayster cannon made from battlefield artifacts.
