OTHER SPECIAL HISTORY UPDATES AND TRIVIA NOTES ABOUT THE ITEM OR IMAGE (observations and commentary from photo finder or article authors):
1. Original Research Footnotes and Historian Remarks: Photo circulated in email appears to be from a Fourth of July or Memorial Day weekend holiday parade or other public celebration. It is unlikely this was a Labor Day memorial parade item due to timing of the start of his presidency; however, it could be a parade float used at a Macy's Parade or other sort of private civic function. More research is needed. Comments by readers are appreciated with story leads.
