EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1909 in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, showcases a Decoration Day Parade like no other. The unique spectacle unfolds on Sixth Street, West from Robert, where schoolchildren have come together to create a living flag of the Stars and Stripes. Dressed in red, white, and blue, the children form a meticulous formation, each child representing a star or a stripe in this impressive display. The buildings along the street serve as a picturesque backdrop, their facades adorned with American flags and banners, adding to the patriotic atmosphere. The road is filled with the excitement of the crowd, as people gather to witness this special occasion. Horses and carriages add to the charm of the scene, while signs and banners along the route announce the event. Decoration Day, now known as Memorial Day, is a time for honoring and remembering the men and women who have died in military service to the United States. This living flag formation, created by the schoolchildren, is a testament to their respect and appreciation for the nation's history and the sacrifices made by its heroes. The photograph, taken by Leslie Carter, captures the essence of the era, transporting us back to the 1900s and the spirit of community and patriotism that defined the times. The image is a reminder of the importance of remembering our history and the values that continue to shape our nation today.
