Huntington Beach Independence Day Event

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the courage of the first responders and everyday heroes, and stand with the families whose lives were forever changed.
May we always remember the bravery, compassion and unity shown in the days that followed.
From all of us at the Huntington Beach Independence Day Celebration, we will never forget. 🇺🇸
