Behind a day for patriots

The Laguna Coastline Pilot went to Laguna Beach High School and asked

students: ‘What does the Laguna Beach Patriot’s Day Parade mean to

you?’

“I’m not a Laguna Beach citizen because I live in Aliso Viejo, but

I’ve watched it on TV and it looks like it brings the community

together.”

ASHLEY KLEIN, 16

“I was in it when I was in fifth grade, it’s a lot of fun when

you’re a kid and people cheer. It brings people together from all

different social classes and is a unifying event.”

JOANNA GOLOFIT, 16

“I’ve lived here my whole life and it seems like it is pretty much

local people and because I think Laguna Beach is a tourist community

-- I think it’s pretty cool. You get to see what everyone is doing

and it’s pretty interesting.”

NATALIE SAND, 16

“It means patriotism I guess -- people who love the country. And

my brother is filming it.”

BRYAN BROWN, 16
