This Memorial Day join with more than 1.5 million Americans in watching the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C. This event pays tribute to America’s fallen heroes who sacrificed everything in the service of their country. The history of the Memorial Day Parade goes back to a time just after the Civil War had ended. The parade is organized by the American Veterans Center. The AVC’s mission is “Gaurding Their Legacy. Honoring Their Sacrifice.” The ‘Pentagon Channel’ and Military.com will be broadcasting the parade in its entirety. The ultimate purpose of the parade as a whole is to call to attention the true meaning of Memorial Day which is to honor the fallen heroes of the United States armed forces.
