The Bronx Veterans Parade Task Team kicked off the borough’s Veterans Day celebrations with its fifth annual Bronx Veterans Day Parade on Saturday, November 3 at East 175th Street and Crotona Parkway. During the parade, marching bands and local veterans paid their respects to our nation’s fallen veterans resting eternally at the Old Soldiers’ Cemetery with a 21 gun salute and prayer service.
Ronald Ramos played ‘Taps’ during the parade’s heartfelt memorial ceremony.
