Veterans Day Parade Fetes Its 90th

This year’s Veterans parade in New York is a special commemoration marking the 90th Anniversary of Veteran’s Day (1919-2009).

Hosted by the United War Veterans Council on behalf of the City of New York, the Veterans Day parade is the largest of its kind in the nation, providing an opportunity for New Yorkers and visitors from across our country (and around the world!) to honor those who have preserved our freedoms.

This year’s parade theme, "The Blessings of Liberty," is drawn from the preamble to our Constitution. Our goal is to encourage the public to not only support our veterans and military, but to show their appreciation for the good things in their own lives that they owe to those in unitorm.

We invite to you learn about this year’s parade and related activities in New York, and to find out how you or your organization or company can get involved as a:

• Participant
• Sponsor
• Volunteer

Veterans Day endures as a celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Major hostilities of World War I between the Allied nations and Germany were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
