Crowds line Bridge Street in Oswego, New York during a Flag Day parade in June 1943 as marchers carry flags through the downtown streets. Spectators gather along the sidewalks while local groups and servicemen take part in the procession. Parades like this were common across the country during World War II, when communities held patriotic events to honor service members and show support for the war effort at home.
