2012 National Memorial Day Parade

It is that time of year again for the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington DC. We have been hard at work at the AVC office preparing for the big day, as well as getting the new website launched. We have some great stuff planned for the event along with some special celebrity appearances.

This year’s parade will feature a very special grand finale honoring all of the OIF generation of veterans as the last of those troops return home. This tribute will feature veterans marching in the parade who served and sacrificed in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn. We have partnered with the IAVA to make this special tribute happen.

Please join us on Monday, May 28th 2012 at 2pm as we kick off the celebration. Boeing will once again be our presenting sponsor and we have a great group of generous sponsors and supporters.
