This year’s 8th Annual Cars and Stripes Forever on the Port of Los Angeles brought the community to San Pedro on Friday July 1, 2016 for a night of classic cars, music and of course a complete fireworks show.

The fireworks included various pop and patriotic songs that were fitting for the lights over the port of Los Angeles.

There were also various musicians who performed between 5 and 9 p.m as spectators viewed the classic cars displayed below.

And a dancing water fountain kept children entertained all night long with lights triggered to various patriotic tunes.

9/11- 12 Years Later

September 11, 2001 was a wake up call for all Americans.  It was on this day where four coordinated terrorist attacks organized by the Islamic terrorist group, al-Qaeda, flew four planes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and the fourth which landed in a field in Shanksville, PA that was on target to Washington D.C.  Thousands of civilians and service officials lost their lives and twelve years later on Wednesday September 11, 2013, ceremonies across the United States are taking place to remember the fallen.

One ceremony, on board the USS Iowa, welcomed a small number of Los Angeles County residents, who paid tribute to them.  Watch now, to see and experience how Los Angeles remembered on this iconic day.
