"To capture the spirit of a day-long welcome to homecoming Korean veterans is not an easy task. But Pete Delaurenti has managed it in a remarkably complete coverage in true newsreel style. Cutting from shots of the great troopship edging up to the dock in Seattle, to the crowds waiting to embrace returning veterans - the genuine and touching family reunions, the slightly bewildered beauty queens, the governors' paternal reception of a chosen native of each state and the inevitable parades - Mr. Delaurenti seems to have been endowed with multiple hands, feet and even cameras. Welcome Lane is a moving record of a difficult subject, accomplished with good taste" PSA Journal, Jan. 1955, 51.
