The men in white, just a few of the 136 who operate the mess, carried turkeys, fresh vegetables, oranges, milk and butter (photographed in that order) to the Welcome Home sign that greets veterans at the ferry landing, and posed with them to let prospective guests know the Port has plenty of the victuals they’ve been longing for overseas.”
