Falun Gong practitioners in the "Salute 2 America Parade"
Since it is the 60th birthday of the American air force this year, the organizer invited famous pilot Charles W. Dryden as the Grand Marshal of the parade. Thousands of people watched the parade, even though it was hot.
Falun Gong practitioners formed a Waist Drum team, a Heavenly Maidens Dance team, a Tang Drum team and a flag team. Their performances were very appealing to the audience. The traditional Chinese style was very unique in the parade. Many people took photos of the practitioners and some expressed to the reporter that they welcome people from different cultures to perform in the parade.
Some spectators expressed an interest in learning the exercises and asked for the contact information for the local exercise site.
