Legion Parade in Boston Marks National Legion Conference
The American Legion parade in Boston drew hundreds of thousands along a two and a quarter mile route past landmarks of U S history. Explosions and artillery salvos opened the march past Leverett Saltonstall as police, army, and navy escorts led the procession through streets echoing revolutionary era sites. A silent crowd watched motorized units with modern weapons pass, while veterans from 1917 followed. Wendell Willkie, absent, sent regrets to the parade. Police estimated spectators exceeded two million at the event.
