Representatives of the 26th Cavalry Regiment (Philippine Scouts) participate in the 19th Annual Long Beach Veterans Parade on Saturday, Nov. 7. The group was part of the United States Army Forces Far East’s Philippine Department during World War II. The 26th engaged in the last cavalry charge in the history of the U.S. cavalry, according to Wikipedia. The Long Beach parade traveled down Atlantic Avenue from Harding Street to 56th Street, with two centenarian grand marshals leading it: Clifford Chaffee and Allan Kobrick.
