The National Memorial Day Parade is coming up -- Monday, 28 May in Washington DC.

It will be a great day. The parade is huge -- marching bands, flags, celebrities, veterans from all ages, 300,000 cheering visitors, and TV cameras that will broadcast the parade across the country.

This year, the parade will feature a special tribute to the American veterans of World War I. This tribute will include several World War I-era military & support vehicles -- and a parade float with the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission's volunteers, staff, Commissioners, and supporters.

The parade is broadcast live to over 100 affiliate TV stations around the entire U.S., and will also be live-streamed via Military.com, among other online outlets.

This parade is our nation’s largest Memorial Day event, drawing hundreds of thousands of spectators to the National Mall to pay tribute to those who have served. The parade, commemorating its fourteenth year, will be a great chance to honor our veterans, and to tell the story of the men & women who gave us much 100 years ago.
