Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) marched down Fifth Ave, with crowds cheering, during the New York City Annual Veterans Day parade on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023.
The WWP is a nonprofit organization that helps veterans and active-duty service members recover and transition back into civilian life and commemorates twenty years of service to veterans.
The U.S. Army served as the featured service branch, with Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy A. George, participating at the wreath laying ceremony at the Eternal Light Flagstaff prior to the start of the parade and viewed the marchers from the reviewing stand.
The parade commemorated key military anniversaries including the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War, the 50th anniversary of U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam, the 40th anniversary of the Beirut barracks bombing and Grenada invasion, and the 30th anniversary of the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia.
Billed as the nation's largest Veterans Day event, with over 20,000 marchers in three hundred elements, the NYC parade has been a Veterans Day tradition since 1919. (U.S. Army photo by Mark Getman)
