Caption: "Proudly displaying American flags unfurled in a strong, gusty Sooner breeze, an estimated 1,200 Oklahomans, from tots to great grandfathers, paraded without incident through downtown Oklahoma City today observing "loyalty Day." The spirit of the observance caughtnumerous onlookers who found themselves clapping in time with the spirited marching music of three high school bands. As flags - too numerous to count - passed, some saluted, some cheered, others stood silent. The parade, sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, began at Broadway and 10th, proceeded south to Main, west on Main to Lee and north on Lee to the Civic Center. The observance was climaxed with loyalty speech by retired Army Gen. Clyde Watts, Oklahoma City Attorney.
