Veteran’s Day: A time to remember and thank those who served the United States

New York has always been known for grand parades and the event commemorating Veteran’s Day is another one not to miss.  Since Veteran’s Day was first celebrated in on November 18th 1919 (originally know as Armistice Day) to remember the sacrifices of World War I parades have been held.

In New York we have had a parade since 1929. The parade in New York runs up Fifth Avenue from Madison Square Park at 23rd Street north to 59th Street. If you want to take in the parade then consider a location in Midtown Manhattan for easy access.

New York Habitat has many apartments available in the area including (NY-12098) near Times Square, (NY-7724) in Midtown East near the end of parade route and (NY-4564) a few blocks from Madison Square Park. There are over 20,000 participants in the parade including bands, floats and military. Take a look at http://www.nationsdayparade.org/ for more info about the parade.
