A ceremony was held on the street in front of an italian and french bakery at 122 Willow Ave. The event is not described in greater detail, but it is likely to be service flags or victory banners that commemorated Hoboken armed forces members. See related photo of ceremony, 2009.025.0200.
The photo is from Henrietta Craig, daughter of Joseph M. Craig and niece of Edward Craig of 409 Washington Street, both of whom were serving in the military.
