Veterans Day – We Honor Those Who Serve

Saratoga Flag takes great pride in participating in numerous Veterans Day Parades.   Please take a minute to view excerpts from the 2015 NYC Veterans Day Parade, where we marched with the Wounded Warrior Project and thousands of Veterans up Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

We Honor Those Who Serve and have served, every day!

Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans, that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I; major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The United States previously observed Armistice Day. The U.S. holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.


Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service.[
