She said she has been in parades in other towns, too, and she and another group of females that served in the Marines planned to march Sunday in a Crystal Lake parade.
Anthony, a Homer Glen resident who will be a freshman at Lockport Township High School in the fall, learned well.Anthony and Victoria Cobbett attend their first Oak Lawn Fourth of July Parade June 29, 2024. “I actually went to join the Air Force and the Air Force recruiter was out to lunch,” she said. “And this man came up in dress blues and said, ‘would you like to join the Marines?’ I said, ‘I didn’t know they had women in the Marines.’”
Cobbett said even though she was in an office doing mostly payroll work, she believes she made a significant contribution. There were activities after Saturday’s parade including food trucks, inflatables for children to bounce around in as well as a concert from Five Guys Named Moe.
