Harlem Hellfighters: The 369th parades up Fifth Avenue upon their return to New York. Feb. 17, 1919. The 369th was the first full regiment to return to the U.S. so they were first to be honored by a parade. The schools in Harlem were dismissed for the day. But this parade was to be the only one in which they were included. [When a Victory Parade was held in later months for the entire military, the Harlem Hellfighters were not permitted to participate.]
