Supporting the nation naturally
Natalie Grilletti, mother of two, is a Dyker Heights resident who comes out every year to watch the Independence Day Parade. Her five and three year-old children happily cheered and waved their American flags on Saturday, June 30 as veterans marched down 13th avenue.
Theyre young, Grilletti said, and I like them to see what Brooklyn is all about.
The 107th Annual American Independence Day Parade — sponsored by the Long Island Assembly of the Knights of Columbus — commemorated the 236th birthday of America and saluted the nations armed forces as part of the July 4th celebrations.
