Houston’s first Veterans Day parade was held in 1998 to honor John Glenn and the space agency’s 40 years of reaching for the stars. For 22 years, Houston has continued to pay tribute to our men and women in the military. This civic celebration honors and celebrates the brave heroes and families who fight for our liberty and freedom.
