While Lone Star State boasts the second-largest statewide population of veterans in the U.S., DFW’s the land of the free for more than a quarter of the 1.6 million men and women who fought for Texas and America. That means the Metroplex knows how to honor heroes.
Dallas Veterans Day Parade will feature some 150 entrants and four grand marshals, including three veterans, all over 90, who fought on the beaches of Normandy at D-Day—75 years ago this year. Cheer along the parade route, which starts at Reunion Arena, with the massing of the colors at 11 a.m. Or honor our vets by donating to the free event.
