Families ready themselves to start a bike parade during the first Independence Day Youth Parade at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., July 4, 2017. The MCAS Cherry Point Provost Marshal’s Office ensured the Independence Day fun was enjoyed safely with their vehicles leading participants through the mile-long route.  Cherry Point’s very own McGruff the Crime Dog and Sparky the Fire Dog interacted with children. Nearly 100 members of the Cherry Point community participated in the red, white and blue parade.
