Largest Memorial Day Parade
The American Veterans Center, who puts on the largest Memorial Day event in the nation, will be streaming their parade in Washington D.C. at 2:00 et on Monday the 25th. In addition to streaming the parade, their website contains many publications, audio, and video honoring American veterans. From their website:
Who are we?
The mission of the American Veterans Center is to preserve and promote the legacy of America’s servicemen and women from World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The Center is comprised of two divisions - The World War II Veterans Committee and the National Vietnam Veterans Committee. The American Veterans Center is also the primary sponsor of the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, DC, drawing a quarter of a million spectators to one of the largest military-themed events in the country.
“Bringing the legacy of the Greatest Generation to the latest generation” is the motto of the World War II Veterans Committee. Through documentary work, speaker programs, and the publications World War II Chronicles and American Valor Quarterly, the World War II Veterans Committee seeks to bring the history of World War II to today’s students and young people.
The National Vietnam Veterans Committee not only seeks to tell the combat stories of Vietnam veterans, we also spotlight their many successes after returning home. The National Vietnam Veterans Committee, through its programs which include the publication Valor: The Veterans of Vietnam and now American Valor Quarterly, is working to tell the true story of Vietnam veterans which has so often been ignored.
