View towards a group of people standing in a cemetery around an altar and a flagpole with an American flag. A clergyman in an alb and chasuble standing in the center. A number of the assembled people in the group are wearing hard hats and military uniforms, with some of the men holding American flags. Caption reads: "Catholic War Vets will dedicate the Veterans Memorial mound in Holy Sepulcre (<i>sic</i>) Cemetery, W. College oa. (<i>sic</i>) and S. Lake Dr. Cudahy on Sunday. American Legion, Polish Legion and V.F.W. will participate in the ceremonies there at 9:00 AM. Sunday, 200 CT. Guess it will be quite a local turnout. Gonyea will make the principal address and four firing squads will rend the air..."
