03 Jan 1946, New York, New York, USA — Typical of the hard-bitten warriors of the famed 82nd Airborne Division which arrived in New York on the queen Mary today is Pfc. James Velocci, of 49 Gold St., Buffalo, New York, who is shown in his “working clothes.” The 82nd will stage a parade in New York on January 12th which promises to be the biggest and best since the boys began arriving home. — Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS
