The ILWU Local 10 Drill Team garnered first place in the Non-Commercial

division at the 101st Portland Rose Festival's Starlight Parade on June 1.  Congratulations to the men and women of Local 10!

 

The Drill Team will also be participating in San Francisco's Juneteenth 2008 Parade on Saturday, June 21.  Juneteenth commemorates the day on which Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas and read aloud an order freeing all enslaved Americans on June 19, 1865 - more than two and a half years after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
