Unite. Honor. Salute.
We unite Mississippi Gulf Coast communities with an annual parade to honor and salute all Veterans and members of the Armed Forces.
Save the date! Next parade will be Sat., Nov. 5, 2022 - Gulfport, MS
21 years -We've been around the block!
Join the celebration of our nation’s Veterans with dozens of Veterans groups, active-duty military, marching bands, JROTC units and patriotic floats. This is a once-in-a-year chance to get together as a community and recognize the brave men and women of the Armed Forces. Bring family and friends to take part in this patriotic event!
"It means a lot because it's a fulfillment of their trust in us. As we pass by and hear their applause, it gives you a lump in the throat."
JOE OAKS, VIETNAM VETERAN, NOV, 13, 2010, BILOXI, MISS.
Join us!
Engaging with youth, educators, community leaders, and the general public about our Veterans helps them appreciate what sacrifices earlier generations have given to our nation.
The best part of volunteering is being on an elite team honoring the contributions of our U.S. Veterans and helping build a patriotic community spirit on the Coast.
All contributions, large or small, supports our non-profit organization 501c3, and provides resources to produce the annual Gulf Coast Veterans Parade.
