Port of Tacoma - With the end of WWII in the Pacific, over 16,000 servicemen and women were brought to Tacoma during December of 1945 on troop ships. Each ship was met by Red Cross volunteers handing out milk, doughnuts and other items to the troops. Three hardy volunteers wrapped against the weather greet the arriving troops returning from overseas.
