PATCHOGUE, NY — If social media means anything, Patchogue parade goers certainly seemed to have a good time celebrating our nation's birthday.

The parade's theme this year was "Salute the Troops," as the celebration down Main Street featured local members of the American Legion, Amvets and Veterans of Foreign War groups. The parade has been running for about 68 years, according to organizer James Conklin Jr.

Below are a few of our favorite photos from the memorable day.
