Close up of the parade mentioned in the Indianapolis News front page from May 7th, 1919. The Indiana Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument is in the background, as is a victory arch built for the occasion. Returning veterans hoped that their sacrifice would be acknowledged. Some formed the basis of the American Legion, which quickly became a powerful American veteran’s organization during the 1920s.
