Video: 2008 Torrance Armed Forces Day Parade
by John Little on 17/05/2008The city of Torrance does it right:
Our nation’s men and women of the military forces have defended our country, insured our freedom, and upheld the beliefs and principles that this great nation was built on. At this time in history, our military is at war against world terrorism. During the month of May, the City of Torrance continues its long-standing tradition and marks the 49th consecutive year it will be hosting an Armed Forces Day Celebration and Parade to honor the sacrifices of our nation’s past and present military!
This year, the City will once again honor the men and women of our nation’s military with a three-day celebration beginning on Friday, May 16 continuing through Sunday, May 18 with the Parade highlight on Saturday, May 17. This year’s honored branch is the United States Marine Corps. Mark your calendars and help honor and thank the men and women of our nation’s Armed Forces!
Details on the multi-day event can be found here.
