Supporting the World War I Troops in DeKalb: Huge Welcome Home

From the March 8, 2017, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"DeKalb and Sycamore said 'welcome home' to their soldier boys last night in a way that showed the 'fellers' that they meant it.

With a crowd of at least 2,000 filling every nook and cranny of the space 'outside the railing' at the Armory and fully as many were in a futile push for admission at the closed doors and admiration and regard shining from every fan the soldier lads, band and company knew last night what their place in the hearts of DeKalb people is."
