Members of the American Legion Post 397 presented our colors during Monterey Park’s 2019 celebration.

This year’s celebration was cancelled due to the Pandemic.

Our United States of American was created “On July 2, 1776, Congress voted to declare independence from Great Britain. On July 4, 1776, Congress voted to accept the Declaration of Independence, marking July 4 as Independence Day.”

“Among them was the idea that all people are created equal, whether European, Native American, or African American, and that these people have fundamental rights, such as liberty, free speech, freedom of religion, due process of law, and freedom of assembly.”

Please remember all of men and women who gave up their lives for our freedoms on this special day.
