2001.07.04 BLIA Los Angeles Chapter at July 4th Parade Los Angeles, USA

A hundred members from the BLIA Los Angeles Chapter celebrated Independence Day with other community groups yesterday at the Hacienda Heights July 4th Parade. Ven. Man Jen, an American, from Hsi Lai Temple led the group down Stimson in Hacienda Heights chanting, “We love America, U.S.A.!” to the beat of a Taiko drum. Historical flags are the theme of the group’s entry, including the Gadsen, the Bennington, the First Navy Jack, and the Star Spangled Banner.
