Greenpoint Veterans Memorial Parade

Greenpoint is celebrating its veterans again this year with a parade for those who sacrificed for our country.

On Sunday, May 29, the Veterans Memorial Parade will pay tribute to locals who were part of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Gulf War and the War on Terror.

The event will begin at St. Stanislaus Memorial American Legion Post #1771, located at 519 Leonard Street, starting at 9 a.m. The parade then moves along Manhattan Avenue to St. Anthony St. Alphonsus, about an eight-block walk. There, a Memorial Mass will be celebrated.

After the mass, the parade starts up again and ends back at the American Legion Post.
