Residents of Middletown have waited a long time for a parade in town. Some have waited a whole lifetime.
And this year they got it.
This year they didn't have to pack up the family and travel to give their children the experience of watching a parade.
"I am so glad the parade is local and I can walk to it and see neighbors," said Jamie Neiman, 38, of Middletown.
"The Fourth of July makes everyone proud of their country," she said.
For the 38 years she lived in Middletown there was never a parade. She had to go to other townships if she wanted to see one.
Middletown celebrated America's birthday with a July 4 parade Wednesday. There was an abundance of support and respect from the community proving that people have not forgotten the reason for the celebration.
Residents lined the streets dressed in red, white and blue. They came out to celebrate the country’s freedom. Families scattered about in chairs and on blankets with flags in hand displaying pride in the country and delight for a parade in town.
"It is about time we have a parade," said Jay Domback, of Middletown.
His thoughts were echoed by other residents of the town.
