gold star mothers entered, escorted
by marine guard and military band.
A few moments later a bugle an

equal to the first took place. Legion
posts from all over the city came
trooping in behind their color bear

Impromptu "four-minute speakers"
gathered their audiences on street
corners and for several hours those

to gain entrance to the garden. Four
hundred policemen guarded the area,
but there were no disturbances.

when in his brief address he paid
tribute to the gold star mothers

bowed its head, mems handkerchiefs
