(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of July 4, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners from San Diego participated in the Scripps Ranch Independence Day parade. On that day, because our waist drum troupe went to Los Angeles to join the 100th annual Fourth of July Parade held in Huntington Beach, our procession consisted of only a huge banner with the words, "Falun Dafa," a decorated float and a fan dance performance.

Although we had much fewer people than before, our practitioners' procession was still bright and beautiful. Practitioners displayed the peacefulness and beauty of Dafa with their pure hearts, winning constant applause along the route. Several days later after the parade, we were very happy to learn that the judges issued us the "most creative" award. During the Fourth of July holiday, San Diego Falun Gong practitioners participated in four parades in three days and won three awards.
