Phoenix Veterans Day Parade - Honoring America's Veterans

We salute our veterans and their loved ones by thanking, honoring, and recognizing them for their service and patriotism to our country. This core value is why we host the Phoenix Veteran’s Day Parade, the Honor Our Heroes Campaign, the High School Essay Competition, and the Pearl Harbor Day Event. We do this because our veterans tell us that our gratitude, honor, and recognition can help them heal. Isn’t that inspiring? A thank you can mean so much.

This is why we host Arizona’s largest parade event each year – the Phoenix Veteran’s Day Parade. Glowing with tributes, recognition, and healing, this event is unique to our veterans and community. We’re not stopping there; we also hope to create other events to help us support this mission. And you can help!

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

As the people cheer and support you along the  parade route, it gives you that confidence that  what you did to serve mattered. Step by step  along the route, it was a healing event for me.

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.

Join Our Sponsors

If you’d like your organization to have a float, balloon, vehicle, marching group or other form of participation in the parade, we have a very limited number of opportunities available. Ask about our Silver Star sponsorship. It includes a parade entry, an ad in the parade program, passes to parade VIP seating, seats at the parade victory party, a logo on parade volunteer t-shirts and our website, AND a verbal thank you by announcers during the parade.

It’s an incredible opportunity to showcase your employee veterans and patriotism!
