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.

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.

It’s an incredible opportunity to showcase your employees who are veterans and support them!
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 minimal 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.
