Fourth of July 1984 Oceanside, California

Who doesn't love a parade? Lots of folks were on hand for the 2nd annual Oceanside Fourth of July parade. A float saluted the Summer Olympics which was later that month in Los Angeles. There were clowns, food, marching bands, horses, music and so much more. Doug McAllister talked to kids who seemed to be enjoying the festivities.

Now it's pride month instead of celebrating for your country 😮😢

repulsive they celebrate mental illness...instead of all coming together celebrating America, our athletes in the coming Olympics, and the unity and strength of our country...those were the days
