November 11, 2009 marks the 90th Anniversary of The New York City Veterans Day Parade. Since November 11, 1919, The Parade has brought New Yorkers and Americans together to honor those who served , defending our democracy. From its modest beginnings, a year after the Armistice was signed that concluded World War I, the parade has grown not just in scope and scale, but in national importance. The NYC Veterans Day Parade has endured and been a constant through war times and times of peace. It is a Veterans Day ritual for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, Armed Service Members, their families and tourists. The Parade has always been a reflection of New York City's sense of patriotism, community spirit and respect for The Flag. Participating in this high-energy commemoration is a great way for your band to thank all those who served our country, protecting our freedoms.
