The 105th annual New York City Veterans Day Parade took place along Fifth Avenue, stretching from 26th Street to 46th Street. The parade, one of the largest in the country, drew thousands of spectators to honor military veterans. It featured marching bands, military units, and veterans’ organizations.

Broadway will be closed between Liberty Street and Battery Place for the Veterans Day Festival. Additionally, the Madison Square Park Conservancy says the gravel and Broadway side entryways to the park will be closed starting at 6 a.m. Monday, and the Dog Run will be closed from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The parade’s highest honoree is Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer, a Marine. According to the nonprofit United War Veterans Council, he is recognized for his valor in the Afghanistan War, in which he defied orders and went into a particularly dangerous area to help save American and Afghan troops who had gone missing, and in the Iraq War.
