The parade will showcase marching bands, military units, veterans' organizations, and more, all coming together to pay homage to those who have sacrificed for our freedom.
ABC7 New York 24/7 Eyewitness News StreamThe New York City Veterans Day Parade will return to Fifth Avenue on Monday afternoon.
Dakota Meyer, Medal of Honor recipient and United States Marine, as the Grand Marshal for the 2024 parade. Through five successive missions over the course of six hours, Meyer helped save the lives of dozens of American and Afghan troops, changing vehicles when his first was too damaged by enemy fire to continue. He also found the bodies of four missing men from his unit, and, with the help of Afghan allied soldiers, moved the bodies to a safer area from where they could be extracted. Meyer suffered shrapnel wounds to his arm and, in a testament to his heroism, did not expect to survive the battle.
