Twenty thousand participants from across the United States representing every military service branch, marching bands, floats, youth cadets, and vintage military vehicles participated in the parade, which is produced by the United War Veterans Council.
However, the messy weather didn’t stop thousands of spectators along 5th Avenue from paying tribute to the brave service members who courageously served their country.
Patton III, the first African-American Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard, served as this year’s parade Grand Marshal. Patton, who retired in 2002 after 30 years of service, received an email in early July informing him he was chosen as the parade’s ceremonial leader.

“This is the granddaddy of them all—the largest Veterans Day Parade in the world,” Patton said, referring to the commemoration of service. “And so I couldn’t feel anything less than being honored.” Members of the U.S. Armed Service march in the 103rd Veterans Day Parade in New York City Photo by Gabriele Holtermann
