President Trump will be the first president to kick off New York City’s Veterans Day Parade, the White House announced Wednesday.
Trump will address the 100th Annual Opening Ceremony of the parade on Monday and then will lay a wreath at the Eternal Light Memorial at Madison Square Park.
“The President has been great supporter of our veterans and indeed this parade here in New York City for more than 25 years,†said Bill White, 2019 Veteran’s Day Parade co-producer. “What he is doing now as president with regard to veterans choice, funding our military, and holding them and their families in the highest regard is truly extraordinary. He is loved by our veterans for sure.â€
The 100th annual tribute parade is hosted by the United War Veterans Council. The president of the United States is traditionally invited to attend the annual event, but Trump is believed to be the only one to personally accept.
