Photograph caption dated May 30, 1964 reads, "In memory - Alone and in groups, thousands of persons throughout the Southland today visited cemeteries, parks and ships at anchor to pay tribute to the men and women who gave their lives for their country. Memorial Day services conducted by religious, political and military leaders were held today and more are scheduled tomorrow. Here a lonely woman pauses in the solitude of the morning to pay homage on this, the 96th observance of Memorial Day."
