PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE

P.R. DAY PARADE MARCHING WITH MY SON BY N.Y.C CORRECTION OFFICER STEVEN DEJESUS:

Greetings Guardian Chronicle. My name is Correction Officer Steven Dejesus (1st Officer on left). I marched in the parade with my son Isaiah in the Puerto Rican Day Parade. My son is in the above photo(left). He was dancing and making the crowd go crazy.

This was my first time marching and was the best experience ever! I felt proud to represent the New York City Department of Correction. I told my son that I was going to dress him up in a NYC Correction Uniform on his birthday and take him with me to the parade. He always says, "I wanna be like you when I grow up dad. My son always says he wants to be like me, a New York City Correction Officer.

This day was a perfect day and everyone was happy and proud to be a puerto rican and my son was very happy because he dance to the sounds of salsa and waved the Puerto rican Flag with pride. At the end of the parade my son said, Daddy, thank you for the best birthday ever.
