FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Birmingham, Alabama — November 11, 2025: The 78th National Veterans Day Parade: Honoring 250 Years of Courage, 78 Years of Tradition

This Tuesday, November 11, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., the streets of downtown Birmingham will once again fill with the sound of drums, cadence calls, and the cheers of a grateful city as the 78th National Veterans Day Parade marches through the birthplace of the national holiday itself.

Leading the parade this year is Medal of Honor recipient Captain Gary Michael “Mike” Rose, 78, a Vietnam veteran who enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1967. His courage under fire — rescuing and treating fellow soldiers while wounded himself — earned him the nation’s highest military honor. He will serve as Grand Marshal, embodying the valor and devotion that define America’s fighting men and women.

The Birthplace of Veterans Day

Few Americans realize that Veterans Day began right here in Birmingham, Alabama. In 1947, a young World War II veteran named Raymond Weeks dreamed that the nation should have a day to honor all who served — not just those who died in battle, as Memorial Day observes. Weeks organized a parade and celebration in downtown Birmingham, marking the first event of its kind in the United States.

He called it “National Veterans Day.”

Seven years later, in 1954, Congress and President Dwight D. Eisenhower made Weeks’s dream a reality — officially renaming Armistice Day to Veterans Day — a day to honor all American veterans, past and present. President Reagan would later recognize Raymond Weeks as the “Father of Veterans Day.”

A Legacy of Service and Sacrifice

For 78 years, the National Veterans Day Parade in Birmingham has remained the nation’s oldest and longest-running Veterans Day parade, organized entirely by volunteers through the National Veterans Day Foundation. It receives no government funding — a fitting symbol of the American spirit itself: selfless service, not self-interest.

Year after year, generations of veterans — from the beaches of Normandy to the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan — have marched these streets. Beside them walk Gold Star families, JROTC cadets, and proud citizens, each step a living reminder that freedom is paid for by the willing — not the privileged.

A City and a Nation Remember

When the bands play and the flags wave this Veterans Day, Birmingham will again do what it has done since 1947 — pause, remember, and give thanks.

To the men and women who left home and comfort to defend liberty... to those who returned scarred but unbroken... and to those who never came home — we remember you.

From a single veteran’s vision in postwar Alabama to a national tradition cherished by millions, the spirit of Veterans Day endures.

The 78th National Veterans Day Parade — Born in Birmingham... Still marching strong.

“For those who served... for those still serving... we honor you.”
