Thank you, Veterans, we are grateful for your service. This photo from Thompson Studios produced in 1918 mirrors a report in the Monticello Republican Watchman newspaper: “One hundred soldiers from the Army Transport Service Detachment will arrive in Monticello on Wednesday night and will remain here all day Thursday to participate in the [4th of July] celebration. These are all picked men for the occasion and are among the best drilled in the service.” Among the special exhibitions planned for the day were an illuminated street parade with the 100 soldiers, Home Defense, Boy Scouts, the Red Cross, the Fire Department, the G.A.R., and others led by the band, under the direction of Marshals Wm. B. McMillen and Louis De Hoyos. The parade was planned to end at the Court House Square, where Broadway was roped off in front of the park, “swept, washed and greased until it is like a polished ballroom floor” for the multitude to dance.
