YOU CAN'T GET MORE AMERICAN THAN THIS

Continuing the mindset of Superman's 75th birthday at the end of June in the public consciousness,  the annual 4th of July parade in Newhall, CA was a fitting end.

For Newhall's 4th of July Parade, a good portion of our cast of "Les Miserables" were in the parade as Superheroes, with Capt. American (Colin America) and I as Supes, escorting the gang. Others included Wonder Woman (Tyler Joy Bannerman), Cyclops (Wyland Kirkwood), Spiderman (Joey Langford), and Judge Dredd (Marcus Langston).  The marching band was walking past us, on our way to our float, and the trumpet player started playing the "Superman" John Williams theme. We looked pretty epic as a breeze was blowing through mine & Supergirl's capes (Samantha Jade Dominguez) while we're walking down treelined streets. But the sight of Capt. American & Supes walking past old houses w/ white picket fences, in small town America, and a child waving to us sitting next to her mom who was wearing camel military fatigue. That some Norman Rockwell stuff right there! All this concluding with bringing the all American apple pie to a friend's house for an evening of fireworks.  AMERICA!
