An historic flag will help lead the march for traditional Veteran’s Day Parade.
On Friday, October 17, a battle-scarred flag that was once carried into the Persian Gulf War was presented to local veterans to recognize and honor their sacrifices by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.
The ceremony, which took place at Brooklyn Borough Hall, was attended by representatives of the United War Veterans Council, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans of America, Marine Corps League, and student veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
