The annual Colorado Springs Veterans Day Parade is Saturday, Nov. 6, starting at 10 a.m. This year’s theme is “The Greatest Generation,” honoring those who served in World War II.

The parade route is along Tejon Street between Boulder and Vermijo in downtown Colorado Springs. Numerous active-duty units and a variety of community organizations participate in the parade, which draws thousands of spectators.

The parade is coordinated by a nonprofit organization whose mission is “to honor all veterans and to educate and inspire community awareness while paying tribute to the service and sacrifices all veterans have endured in the pursuit of freedom.”
