Richmond's Own Come Homo Today

CIV on damned Virginians fought like hell"
and the pride and Joy in his heart were
reflected on the face OF the brigadier- general
who thus emphatically voiced his praise Of
the One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry
after it had repulsed vicious drive Of the
Germans at Muhouse school. ;.~
How in hell can we stop them when they
don't even stop for their own barrage 90 cried
a disheartened Hun who had seen the Ger
man forces cut to pieces and scattered their
boosted lines overrun by these same crazy
Virginians."
These same damned Virginans," and we
smile when We say 1t, for it Is the most
cherished citation of these vire heroes from
overseas who will parade Richmond's streets
today, among them the Richmond Grays, boys
who went from local stores, shops factories
and the professions. and by their daring
helped to turn the tide of blood and defeat
ana set II running toward Berlin. Winners
or the worlds praise, they come to receive
the thanks OF their own, their very own
people who in the heart breaking months Of
the war prayed for their safe return and now
greet them with an accumulation OF Joy and
hope long deferred. And mistake It not
these khaki-clad boys are hungrier for the
welcome they will receive today from their
own home folks than they were for all the
other encomiums that have been, or could be-
heaped on them
Today's parade and welcome TO the Grays
is OF more than local significance for they
nave written their names in large letters on
the pages OF history, and in allied and enemy
countries they are known. For twenty-one
days they were In the hottest Of wars in
ferno east OF the Mouse. During that final
drive against the very flower OF the enemy,
there was no phase Of conflict whose bitter
uess they did not taste. no horror they did
not Know. no cup Of suffering they did not
QUAR-. On fourteen OF those days they led
the charge against the enemy and not once
aid they fail to overcome him and CAPTURE
their obJectives. Their victories we're not
won at triiiing cost and little mounds In
france mark the hallowed places where some
OF the Grays are resting. But in their deaths
they were victorious, and their spirits will
keep watch over their comrades as they
proudly swing along Richmond's streets
Now that the long-looked-for day at last
mas dawned and the first of the home coming
celebrations is at hand Richmond is ready
10 go over the top in the mightiest civic vel
