Quirk-Silva also participated in the Huntington Beach Fourth of July parade, the largest parade of its kind west of the Mississippi. Sharon stopped along the parade route to speak with veterans, and collect support cards for the Orange County Veteran’s Cemetery.
The Fourth of July Spectacular at the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Base was the Assemblywoman’s next stop on the tour. The event, co-sponsored by the city of Cypress, was attended by both civilian and active military personnel. Quirk-Silva addressed the crowd about her ongoing efforts to help Orange County get a veterans cemetery. “Our legislation, AB 1453, is now in the Senate and then to the Governor. We are looking for your support to let the Governor know that we’d like to have an Orange County veteran’s cemetery. Our County in the largest in California without a veteran’s cemetery,” said Quirk-Silva.
Quirk-Silva ended her day by giving an address at the Fourth of July Festival and Fireworks Show in her hometown of Fullerton, where she stayed to enjoy fireworks with the community.
