Family of Freemasons joins 4th of July Parade

Euphorically greeting parade spectators “Happy 4th!” and “Happy Birthday, America!”, members of Hawaiian Lodge walked along Kainalu Drive in Kailua in celebration of the 236th anniversary of America’s Independence. While marching, the brethren periodically recited in thunderous unison the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. The 1.3-mile parade stretched from Uilama St. to Kailua Intermediate School.

The Kailua 4th of July parade, now on its 66th year, has evolved into a popular tradition in the Kaneohe town, and the Family of Freemasons has now become a perennial participant.
