Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free
Let The Celebration Of Our Independence Begin!
They are GREAT HOSTS as everybody had a ball! We eat, watch the neighborhood bike parade, see the activities from the base, and then fireworks sprinkled with a load of eating!
The base activities are presented in cooperation with the cities of Los Alamitos, Cypress and Seal Beach, the Rossmoor Community Services District and the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Center.
The event is held on the grounds of the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Center. The gates open at 5pm. Admission is free. Come early and enjoy the military displays and pre-show entertainment. The fireworks show begins at dark. Come see some of the pictures! Just Visiting | The Parade | Fireworks

Quotes & Thoughts
Those
who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the
fatigue of supporting it. ~Thomas Paine
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy
from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent
that will reach himself. ~Thomas Paine
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the
home of the brave. ~Elmer Davis
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation. ~Woodrow
Wilson
Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have. ~Harry
Emerson Fosdick
Let freedom never perish in your hands. ~Joseph Addison
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4,
not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White
House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where
kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from
happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma
Bombeck
