First came the troops, their uniforms a martial palette. Militiamen in grey & white from the "Old Seventh" Regiment; the jist Infantry in blue & white; the 102nd Engineers in scarlet; the 102nd Medical Unit in maroon; the "Old Sixty-Ninth" in blue with green facings; the "Washington Grays" in grey with flashing sabres. Cheerful CCC workers livened their olive drab uniforms with sprigs of hemlock in their caps. Their banner announced: "We Do Our Part For The NRA; We Work In The Woods...
