More than 20,000 people marched in the 104th New York City Veterans Day Parade on Saturday.
As generations of heroes marched up Fifth Avenue, generations of Americans came to show their gratitude. The traditional opening ceremony was held in Madison Square Park before the parade started in the Flatiron District.
The ceremony included a solemn wreath laying at the Eternal Light Flagstaff to thank the millions of veterans who risked their lives to protect our freedoms. Once the parade stepped off, the adoring crowd waved and cheered on marchers from 26th Street all the way up to 47th.
HDN was there:
