What a memorable celebration!

This past weekend, the City of Torrance celebrated the 60th Annual Armed Forces Day Parade and Celebration. The parade is the longest running Department of Defense sanctioned parade in the entire country. This annual event honors the men and women who have served our country.
Prior to the parade, The Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce helps kick-off the day by holding the 5K for Freedom, a Tribute to Louis Zamperini. The Chamber presented the fourth annual race this past Saturday, May 18th. The event would not have been made possible without the partnership of the City of Torrance Police Department.
