A man and a woman standing in a driveway speak with the driver of an International truck loaded with a tractor, farm implements, and a descriptive display. The tractor and farm implements were presented to Corporal James H. Mills in recognition of his war service. The items were purchased by the citizens of his home town, Bartow, Florida. The sign on the float reads: "Bartow, FLA's Gift To Cpl. James H. Mills, Polk Country's National Hero."
