Thank you very much for the answer.My father, Ernest Clark, was stationed at Camp Mercedes in 1920.I recently ran across some snapshots taken at that time, one or two of the Camp and his buddies and another of Brownsville.The Brownsville picture was dated June 1, 1920.That picturewas taken on my father's 18th birthday.The picture was of a bandstand or bleachers decked out with bunting comprised of stripes, suggesting thatsomething was about to happen or had already happened.I can't believe that it was for the 4th of July, but that is what it looked like.Any ideas?
