The men in this float, Buckles, Welsh, Ivory, Harland and Spada, recreated the iconic raising of the flag on Iwo Jima in honor of the U.S. Marines. Buckles' (kneeling left) great-grandfather was the oldest survivor of WWI in the USA.

Everyone loves a parade.

And patriots and candy lovers alike lined the streets of Mentor's Headlands neighborhoods Monday afternoon for the city's annual Fourth of July parade.

This year's theme was "A Salute to Armed Forces."
