COMMEMORATING THE 75th ANNIVERSARY OF THE END OF WWII This year, we have pivoted from honoring our veterans with a physical parade on Veterans Day, November 11, to a 2020 Reimagined Veterans Celebration and Experience. We hope you will join us for the Veterans Day Virtual Celebration and Experience to honor those from the Greatest Generation! See more on our Greater Dallas Veterans Foundation's 2021 Events Page to follow the progress as the event unfolds.
	The Dallas Veterans Day Parade Committee is a subsidiary of the Greater Dallas Veterans Foundation. The membership consists of veteran organization representatives, civic leaders, and members of the active and reserve military components.

The Veterans Day Story... At the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns of WWI fell silent and "Armistice Day" was born. Eight years later a Presidential Proclamation invited people to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies. With the passage of time it was changed to "Veterans Day". The national focal point for the official Veterans Day observance is at the Tomb of the Unknowns where the Presidential wreath is placed.
