Brock's Cub Scout troop got to march in the America Day parade at the beginning of June. Misawa City and the base have America Day weekend each June and Japan Day celebrations in the early spring. The purpose of each weekend is to offer a chance to see things unique to each culture.
America Day is held in the neighborhood just outside the base. There are booths for each state, American food, American music and such. The wives group on base has a booth to show items from Western weddings- very popular with the Japanese!
Brock enjoyed the chance to march in the parade. Check out the pictures- the parade also had icons from American culture such as Star Wars characters and Marilyn Monroe-yes, she was freezing!
The closeup is of Brock and his best buddies the Mansberger boys!
Love,
