Күн бұрынJuly 4, 1973 It was an extra special Coronado Fourth of July parade in 1973. Three Vietnam prisoners of war were honored guests. Rear Admiral James Stockdale, Commander William Stark, and Captain Harry Jenkins Jr. were released in March of that year. They told our Cathy Clark that they were delighted to be there. Highlights included the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Band, beauty queens, floats and clowns. The 26th annual parade’s theme was ‘America for Peace and Progress. A kazoo band from Coronado’s Chowder House went retro, dressed in 50s garb and performed Rock around the Clock.

I grew up in Coronado, and graduated from high school in 1972, one year before this film was taken. I knew many of the people in the parade, and many that came to watch. Coronado was only a Navy town back then.
