NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — In honor and celebration of our country’s heroes, ABC 7 New York is proud to air the biggest Veterans Day event in the United States, the annual New York City Veterans Day Parade.
More than 20,000 service members are expected to march up Fifth Avenue in the 2025 New York City Veterans Day Parade on Tuesday, November 11.
WABC-TV Channel 7 is a proud sponsor of the New York City Veterans Day Parade, and will stream the event live on abc7NY.com, our mobile and connected TV apps, and on our social media pages (Facebook, YouTube and TikTok) starting at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 11.
Eyewitness News anchor Joe Torres and ABC News’ Stephanie Ramos will host the parade, with WABC-TV reporter CeFaan Kim reporting along the parade route on Fifth Avenue.
The 2025 parade will mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. military by celebrating the birth of its three senior service branches: The Army, Marine Corps and Navy.
This year, each of the parade’s Grand Marshals represents one of those branches. The Grand Marshals include former SSG and Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesha, Marine veteran and homeless veterans’ advocate Stephen Peck, and NASA Astronaut and retired U.S. Navy Captain Sunita “Suni” Williams.
