EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic print from 1917, we see a powerful and poignant moment as American troops leave New York for training during World War I. The date is April 6th, the day the United States declared war against Germany, prompting thousands of brave men to enlist in the military.
The image captures a massive send-off for these troops, with crowds of people lining the streets to bid them farewell. As they prepare to embark on their journey abroad for training, there is a sense of unity and determination among these soldiers who have joined together in service to their country.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by so many during this tumultuous time in history. It symbolizes the strength and resilience of the American people as they rallied together to support their allies and fight for freedom and democracy.
As we reflect on this moment captured over a century ago, let us honor those who served and remember their courage and dedication. May we never forget the sacrifices made by these American troops as they left behind their homes and loved ones to defend our nation's values on foreign soil.
