Staff Sgt. Elias Velasquez and his two daughters, Annabelle, 2, and Ashley, 8, trek through their neighborhood during the first Independence Day Youth Parade at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., July 4, 2017. The patriotic event catered to younger family members, but encouraged the larger community to come together.
