Never before has there been a National Parade to honor our dedicated Men and Women in service. Take a moment to absorb that fact.
We’ve had National Parades for those who gave their all, to celebrate our Independence, but never one solely for our Veterans. Until now. Introducing the National Veterans Parade, slated for Sunday, November 12th, 2023, at noon on Constitution Avenue, commencing from the National Archives.
To get involved, whether personally or through your organization, check out our website at www.nationalveteransparade.org. The lineup features US Service Bands, Veterans Organizations, Historic Military Vehicles, High School Marching Bands, celebrities (even a Miss Universe), and more. We’ve also got a Jeep Community revving up a “Jeep Show and Go” right on Constitution Avenue, open to all. Veterans unable to march can ride with them in the Parade. All Veterans are warmly welcome to join.
Our aim? To flood Constitution Avenue with those who’ve served, honoring the Oath to “Preserve and Protect the Constitution from all enemies, Foreign and Domestic.”
If you’re considering saying you won’t return to DC, think twice. Our Veterans didn’t give up, and that’s why we have a country.
This isn’t about red or blue or any particular color; it’s about being American. We invite everyone to show up or otherwise support this as an annual event.
Currently, we’re mostly self-funded. We cover everything – from insurance and security to DC expenses and much more. If you know of potential sponsors or companies interested in sponsoring, check the website for details. Stay tuned; history is in the making!
