It was noted
in the newspapers
that the band of the 369th was playing as their ship brought them back
to their home town
of New York.
Lt. James Reese Europe was the band leader for the Harlem Hell Fighters
and he and the band made
a big impact in France.

“Up the wide avenue
they swung.
Their smiles outshone the golden sunlight.
In every line proud chests expanded beneath
the medals valor had won.
The impassioned cheering of the crowds massed along
the way drowned the blaring cadence of their former
jazz band.
The old 15th was on parade and New York turned out
to tender its dark-skinned heroes a New York welcome.”
