Sponsor a World War II Veteran!

We are seeking your assistance in sending a World War II veteran to New York City to represent your state for the Nations Parade, a special 60th Anniversary commemoration.

On November 10-12 (over the Veterans Day holiday) New York City honor World War II veterans from around the country, as well as veterans from all eras and our current active duty military.

This weekend is the culminating event of the Department of Defense's official WWII 60th anniversary commemoration, and will provide a grateful nation with a final opportunity to recognize "the Greatest Generation"

We are reaching out to individuals, veterans groups and civic organizations to identify and sponsor one or more WWII veterans to attend this special event. Each WWII vet you send will have the opportunity to represent your state at:

In addition, attendees and their escorts/guests will have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of traditional Veterans Day activities, to meet with other WWII vets from across the U.S. (as well as international veterans from around the world), and to explore NYC at the beginning of its holiday season.

To accommodate our WWII vets, we have designed a special $150 VIP Package, which includes breakfast and lunch on Friday and Saturday and transportation around town on both days (there is no fee if they have their own meal and in-town transport arrangements). In addition, we have partnered with Veterans Advantage to provide special travel and lodging packages for this event (more information is available upon receipt of registration).

To sign up your veteran for this once-in-a-lifetime event, please download and submit the Individual Registration Form.

We look forward to welcoming your representative to NYC!
