The Chairman's Message |
||
Welcome to the Greater Dallas Veterans Day Parade website. I am honored to be the Chairman for the 2023 Veterans Day Ceremony and Parade to be held in downtown Dallas. This year’s parade will take place on Thursday, November 9th, at 11:00 a.m. This event is organized and conducted by veterans and volunteers of all ages, who devote their time and efforts to honor our military servicemen and women, past and present. Veterans Day is a day to be PROUD TO BE AMERICAN! The city of Dallas and the Greater Dallas Veterans Day Parade Committee are working extremely hard to make sure there will be a parade this year in downtown Dallas. We are especially grateful for the support of the city of Dallas, without which this event could not occur. Many corporations and individuals throughout the Dallas area assist us each year to help make the parade possible. We deeply appreciate their participation and support, as well as that of many military and veteran organizations. You, too, can become part of this patriotic event by volunteering to help make this the best Veterans Day Parade in America! You are encouraged to review this website to see the ways you can participate and join us by giving your time, talents, and/or contributions. Through your participation you show how important the military veterans of all our armed forces—Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines—are to preserving our freedoms. We salute all those who are serving, those who have served, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Please plan to be there on Friday, November 10th, as we honor our veterans on their special day. |
