To the editor:

First and foremost, the Bristol Phoenix is the best and only newspaper that I read on a consistent basis because of the accurate news and the remarkable photographs that appear throughout the various East Bay Media Group newspapers depicting the articles at hand, but more specifically, the Bristol Fourth of July events that were very well documented during our 238th annual Fourth of July celebration.

With all of the excitement and movement particularly during the Parade, Bristol Phoenix continues to do an outstanding job of capturing the major events which is particularly important because it not only documents historical scenes but it provides the reader (particularly those who are/were not able to see the numerous events) with a snapshot with a front row seat.

As a result of Bristol Phoenix's generosity to the various military hierarchies who support our event, copies of the July 6, 2023 were made available to their commands documenting the importance of the event and the contributions that they make. Thanks to the Staff for their great support of this special annual celebration which is second to none in our great Nation.
