Thanks for posting that excellent article.
Very interesting how the press handled the story trying to minimize the vets accomplishment. Incidental myass...
“Today it appears that this political coalition of World War II veterans for direct action in community affairs, which many at the time regarded as a factor likely to develop nationally in the postwar period, was purely [a] local phenomenon in which veteran participation was incidental.”
The press at that time pretty much buried the story,much like they do today.
