On Thursday July 4, 2024 Bowfin Pearl Harbor Base members participated in the 75th Annual Kailua Independence Day Parade.
For 75 Amazing years, the Kailua Independence Day Parade has graced the streets of Kainalu Drive, and Bowfin Pearl Harbor Base submarine veterans have been participating on and off since 1970.
The theme for the 75th Annual Kailua Independence Day Parade: “Kaimana: Shining Through The Years”. In the Hawaiian, “Kaimana” translates to “diamond,” a symbol of brilliance and endurance. As we commemorate three-quarters of a century of community spirit and resilience, we embrace the diamond’s multifaceted symbolism: strength, longevity, and the preciousness of our shared cultures. This year’s parade will sparkle with the essence of Kailua’s vibrant history, illuminated by the contributions of its people and the radiant legacy they have built together.
