What we do

When we launched our first parade in 1997, we never imagined the profound impact it would have on our veterans. But it did—offering them not just honor and recognition but healing.

“When I came back from the Korean War, people turned their backs on me and called me horrible names. I carried that pain with me for nearly 40 years, but thanks to the parade, that demon is gone.“— Peter Haas, Purple Heart recipient

This is why we do what we do. From the HAV Veterans Day Parade in Phoenix, to the Commemorating Pearl Harbor Day program, to our Veterans Forums, each event holds deep meaning for those who have served—and for the families who stand beside them.

This is why we do what we do. From the Phoenix Veterans Day Parade to the Memorial Day Ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, the Commemorating Pearl Harbor Day program, and our Veterans Forums, each event holds deep meaning for those who have served—and for the families who stand beside them.

Testimonials

At Honoring America’s Veterans, it is vital for us to  support our nation’s heroes through honor and recognition.  Our veteran’s tell us these events help them heal. We do so by  honoring, celebrating, and recognizing them for their military  service to our country

Honoring America's Veterans insures that never again shall we forget the men and women that have defended our freedom.

When we came back from the Korean War, everyone  turned their back on us. It was very difficult and very  painful, and I carried that burden for over 60 years. And  now, thanks to my experiences with the Phoenix Veteran’s  Day Parade, I’m very proud to say that demon is gone. I am  very grateful for the healing the Parade gave me, and I owe  them a debt of gratitude for the rest of my life.
