Ceremonies - Washington - President Wilson reviews Confederate Veterans. Under the Stars and Stripes they marched on June 7, 1917. Heroes who marched and fought with the Gray, men who answered the Southland's call rallied under Old Glory in a great parade in Washington, D.C. Five thousand United Confederate veterans and others marched in the parade, with the Stars and Stripes fluttering above the stars and bars still reverend but given way to a greater and mightier union. The veterans of the South were escorted by a thin line of Union veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic. Photo shows Virginia Military Institute cadets marching in the parade

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
