What about spouses, family, and other guests?
WWII veterans may be accompanied by one guest/escort in the Parade, as well as at the Mayor's Breakfast and the visit to the United Nations. If space permits, they may be able to bring a single guest to St. Paul's Memorial Chapel. Other guests are invited to view the Parade, visit the Veterans Day Fair, and to explore NYC's other cultural and historical offerings.

All activities and venues are designed to accommodate our older veterans. You will receive more information in your confirmation packet, once we receive your registration.

How much does it cost?
We offer WWII vets 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 you make your own meal and in-town transport arrangements).
