OUR MISSION

Our Non Profit 501c3 was formed to promote Veteran Service Organizations by holding the first ever National Parade for the Men and Women who have served. 2025 will be the third annual National Veterans Parade on our National Parade Route in Washington, DC on Sunday, November 9th.  

We recognize the Solemn Oath taken by every Veteran when entering the Service, and recognize those who continue to serve their communities after their military commitment ends. The Parade is meant to showcase and promote the many VSO’s that provide benefit beyond the Veterans Administration.

All proceeds from the Gala Fundraiser go towards the production costs to the District of Columbia, the National Park Service, and private vendors. Any and all funds raised beyond our debt service goes toward Veteran Service Organizations in the Parade, as well as our specific cause of Veteran Homeless Services.

All members of the Foundation are volunteers, we take no salary or monetary benefit from the Foundation. 

Join Us for the 3rd Annual National Veterans Parade!

The Largest Celebration for our Veterans

Countless thanks to all of the volunteers who have dedicated countless hours to fulfill the mission of finally establishing a National Veterans Parade on Washington DC’s Constitution Avenue, our National Parade Route. Sunday, November 9th, 2025 will mark our Third Annual National Veterans Parade, and we are excited to announce that the Parade will now be designated as our National Parade for Armed Forces Bands and Ceremonial Units. With your help, 2025 will be huge! As we are all Volunteers in this endeavor, we pledge that all remaining funds raised will go to benefit the various Veteran Service Organizations that participate in the Parade. Our Salute to all of the Men and Women who have served, and taken the Sacred Oath to “ Preserve and Protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic” is reason enough to support this worthy cause.

We also thank the staff at Mar-a-Lago for their assistance in making this Gala a success!

Thank You,

Francis Ventura
