The parade is presented by the United War Veterans Council. New York has led the nation in observing Veterans Day for more than nine decades, first in 1919 to commemorate the end of World War I one year earlier.
Today’s parade will feature more than 300 marching elements and 20,000 to 30,000 participants, Military.com reported. This includes veterans of all eras, military units, civic and youth groups, and more. The parade will also feature floats, military and vintage vehicles.
According to the parade’s website: “The sole purpose of the NYC Veterans Day Parade is to honor the service of our veterans and to salute our currently serving military. It is a non-partisan, non-political event, and may not be used as a platform for any other purpose or political agenda. Any individual or group that attempts to use the Parade as a forum for this purpose will be denied participation, and will forfeit any expenses incurred.”
