Ninety-year-old Phil Sacks and a couple of his neighbors were not going to be denied the Edmonds 4th of July Parade, canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Phil, a twice-wounded combat veteran, has always marched in the Edmonds Kind of 4th parade. So this Independence Day they marched four block in downtown Edmonds while carrying the flag and blaring music from a portable speaker. Several people stopped and saluted Phil as the small group marched past. From left: Art Jones, Roger Lageshulte, Phil Sacks, Lee Lageshulte.
