🇺🇸 The National Veterans Parade is a tribute to those who took the oath, served our nation, and stood in the gap to defend the freedoms we hold dear.

This November 8, we will gather in our nation’s capital, not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans to honor the men and women who wore the uniform and to celebrate the enduring freedoms they helped protect.

God bless our veterans. God bless our Constitution. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸🙏

The National Veterans Parade proudly recognizes and celebrates every Sailor who has worn the uniform, stood the watch, and sacrificed in service to our great nation. Your service matters, your sacrifice is remembered, and your legacy will never be forgotten.

⚓ Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy!
Fair winds and following seas!
