Today, City Council proclaimed Veterans Day as “a day to express our gratitude to our veterans and citizens serving in the United States military.”

On Veterans Day – and every day – we thank the men and women whose service protects our freedoms and honors our country.

This Friday, join Nick at the 42^nd Annual Ross Hollywood Chapel Veterans Day Parade. He will march alongside the City’s Veterans Empowerment Team and a number of other community groups.

Started by veteran Vernon E. Ross, the parade is Portland’s only Veterans Day parade celebration! The parade will start at 9:30am at NE 40^th and Tillamook, and continues down NE Sandy Boulevard to the Ross Hollywood Chapel.

We also invite you to stop by the City Hall Atrium and explore a display honoring City veterans and their diverse experiences in the military branches.
