Veteran's Day: NYC
New York City's Veterans Day Parade continues its tradition as the largest celebration of service in the country. Veterans Day is an unofficial US holiday that honors all men and women who have served in the armed forces.
The Parade will occur on Monday, November 11th, starting at approximately 11:25 am. It will run until 3:30 pm, rain or shine. The route runs along 5th Avenue, between 26th and 56th Streets. Prior to the parade there will be a traditional opening ceremony at the
Eternal Light Monument (5th Avenue @ 24th Street, next to Madison Square
Park) beginning at 10:00 AM and concluding with a wreath laying at
11:00 AM. Seating is available at the opening ceremony, with preference
given to disabled and elderly veterans.
Join the NYU Military Alliance, NYU Students in the Military, and other
veterans in marching in the 2013 New York City Veterans Day Parade. A gathering location will be sent
prior to the event to those who register. You can register online here. If possible, wear NYU gear for the event.
