TOWSON FOURTH OF JULY PARADE
Message from the chair This being my first year as parade chair, I have been overwhelmed with the support that has been shown for the parade at our fund raiser's (basket/bag bingo, bull and oyster roast, and Towsontown Festival) as well as in our annual fund raising drive. Americans are always willing to donate their time, talent, and finances to causes they feel are worthwhile. I am thankful that so many feel that the Towson 4th of July Parade is a worthy event. The parade is our chance to say thank you to the men and women who have served our country so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. Many could not be with us today because they have made the ultimate sacrifice of their lives. I recently revisited Mount Vernon and was reminded of the men and women who fought so valiantly to start our great nation. It is thanks to them that we celebrate this grand day. It is also a time to pause and give respect and praise to all who have served in times of need so we could continue to have the freedoms our forefathers dreamed of and fought for. These freedoms are part of our daily lives and shouldn’t be taken for granted. As we listen to the nightly world news and hear of the oppression around the globe, it is often easy to sit back and take for granted all we have. Let us forever remember the bravery and sacrifices of those who have served our country so we can continue to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Happy Birthday America!

| In 2007, the first annual Spotlight on a Community began a new tradition. Every year we will choose a Towson community to spotlight. The community will march as part of the Grand Marshal contingent. This new feature will allow us to remind everyone of Towsons rich history and give new neighbors a brief, fun history lesson. |
