The thought of a Veteran’s Day Parade in San Antonio was born of love to honor our city’s military veterans and its rich military heritage.  The first parade on November 18, 2000, with only a handful of participants, has grown to almost 250 Entries and national attention.  With each year, the parade grows in participants, entries, length and acclaim.  The events of September 11, 2001, certainly, brought forth a renewed and more dedicated move to keep our active military and veterans in our hearts and minds.  Now, as part of the City of San Antonio’s “Celebrate America’s Military” (CAM) Week, the parade is a highlight of that celebration within the City. 

    Spearheading this annual event is the U.S. Military Veterans Parade Association with its proud theme of “Veterans and Community - United”, which hails to the core of its existence and purpose.  Our goal is to present a Veterans Day Parade that all can point to as the crowning jewel for Celebrate America’s Military Week in San Antonio, Texas. 

    Join us in lining the downtown streets and waving your American flag, showing your pride as you honor those veterans, past and present, which so unselfishly served or serve to defend the freedom of others and us in this great Nation, under God.
