New York City Veterans Day parade

Half a million people will line Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue today for the annual New York City Veterans Day parade, the nation’s largest event honoring our servicemen and women. This year’s event marks the centennial of America’s entry into the First World War in 1917. Veterans Day was originally known as Armistice Day, and was established to mark the end of WWI and honor veterans of that war. In 1954 Congress changed the name to Veterans Day so that the holiday would honor veterans of all wars. We join our nation today in saying ‘thank you’ to veterans near and far.
