Same as catalog #311489 Vets Parade: VFW Stage Colorful 52nd Encampment. Thirty thousand members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars stage a colorful parade as the highlight of their encampment which is attended by General Douglas MacArthur and other notables. Mayor Impellitteri apparently is there as well. Floats, beauty queen. CU face of dog (Bassett hound?) looking not at all impressed. Very cute shot - little girl (maybe 3 years old) in foreground marches in place, trying to keep time with the flag bearers passing by in the background. Twilight/nighttime (must have been a long parade!): motorcycle cops do maneuvers with lights on.
