As Fourth of July festivities are underway across the state, many in East Anchorage took the day to celebrate for different reasons.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Fourth of July celebrations in East Anchorage were in full swing and provided all the ingredients for a traditional celebration such as burgers, hot dogs and games. Monday’s festivities were hosted by The Door Christian Fellowship Church in partnership with Victory Christian Center at Chanshtnu Muldoon Park, with those in attendance enjoying the free food and live music.
“I’ve been around the world and there’s no greater nation than the United States and Fourth of July is a time where we can all come together,” Cortez said. “We can look past our own political views and ideas and agree that the United States is great because of the freedom.” “We have some countries right now that don’t have the freedom we have in United States. They cannot express like their want, they cannot even have community like they want, the United States is the best country in the whole world,” said Tovisouande.
