Casey<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Legionnaires,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The American Legion Department of New York will once again be marching down the \u2018CANYON OF HEROS\u2019 in New York City on Veterans Day, November 11th<\/sup>, 2021. The parade was cancelled last year due to the ongoing pandemic and there are still some limitations in the city, and we will be following them to the letter. The Lt. B.R. Kimlau Post #1291 color guard will be leading us this year and the American Legion float will follow us down the parade route. You are welcome to ride the float if you need to but remember it is limited in space. A few years back the weather was extremely cold and windy so please dress appropriately. The parade committee only allows us one color guard and no additional flags or banners except for the DNY American Legion banner. I have been informed that a contingent from National Headquarters will be attending and doing a podcast along the route. Delegations from our neighboring states are also planning to attend and it will be nice to see them once again as things slowly creep back to normal. In previous years we have assembled around noon on 28th<\/sup>\u00a0Street between 6th<\/sup>\u00a0Avenue and Broadway and we dispersed at 48th<\/sup>\u00a0Street. Traditionally we would assemble at P. J. Morgan\u2019s pub after the parade to raise a glass to all our fellow Veterans who were not with us on that day, I\u2019m sorry to say that that will not happen this year due to Covid restrictions. If you would like to continue the tradition, please don\u2019t bring a large group to a pub as some still have capacity restrictions and Covid Vaccination cards may be required.\u00a0As soon as I am notified of our exact staging area\u00a0and time, I will let you know. Please come and join us as we salute our fellow Veterans and continue this great tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n James W.
