Every year New York City hosts the nation's largest Veterans Day parade, and local American Legion posts want as many Legion family members as possible to participate. The 2015 "America's Parade" will start at approximately 11:15 a.m. on Nov. 11 at Fifth Avenue and 26th Street, and will proceed up Fifth Avenue to 52nd Street. The total distance is about 1.3 miles. For more information on how Legion family groups can get involved, email parade@americanlegion.com. For more information on the event, visit the America's Parade website at americasparade.org.
