Miami-Dade County Golden Veterans Parade, presented by Hershey's, and 50th Anniversary Commemoration to honor veterans of Vietnam and all wars
MIAMI, FL – County Commissioner José "Pepe" Díaz, Chairman of the Miami-Dade County Military Affairs Board, along with members of the Military Affairs Board, invites the entire community to honor the courage and service of veterans of the Vietnam War, the Bay of Pigs and all wars by attending the Miami-Dade County Golden Veterans Parade – 50th Anniversary Commemoration presented by Hershey's on Friday, Nov. 8, 2013.
The parade will begin at noon on Flagler Street under the I-95 overpass and proceed down Flagler Street to Bayfront Park, where a post-parade commemorative ceremony and FREE concert will take place.Free event parking is available at the West Lot Parking Garage, 220 NW 3rd St., the Hickman Parking Garage, 270 NW 2nd St., and the garage at 140 W. Flagler St. No backpacks are permitted at the parade or ceremony.
Organized by the Military Affairs Board and with the support of 34 Miami-Dade municipalities, local military organizations and a diverse group of community leaders, the parade was inspired by a recent presidential proclamation designating the next 13 years as the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War to honor the more than 3 million servicemen and women who served during more than a decade of combat in Southeast Asia.
Parade participants will include a motorcycle club with over 100 bikers, veterans' organizations, military units and their assets, ROTC units, sponsor floats, five school marching bands, police motorized and horse units, and a flyover. The concert will feature nationally recognized bands that support veterans' causes, including Grand Funk Railroad, Willy Chirino and the 13th Army Band of the Florida National Guard.
"This is a long overdue tribute to Vietnam veterans who fought bravely and honorably but never received a proper homecoming," Commissioner Diaz said. "We are also honoring all the brave men and women across Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida who have risked their lives to defend this country's hard-won freedoms over the years."
The City of Miami Trolley's Biscayne and Coral Way routes also will be affected by the parade.
North of Flagler Street, the Biscayne Route will be detoured onto NE 1st Street at Biscayne Boulevard, head west to NW 2nd Avenue, proceed north to NW 5th Street, head east into PortMiami and then resume northbound on Biscayne Boulevard.

This year, The Hershey Company will be the presenting sponsor of the Miami-Dade County Golden Veterans Parade and 50th anniversary commemoration. Hershey's support of the U.S. military dates back to World War I, when Hershey provided milk chocolate bars to American soldiers. During World War II, Hershey developed the "Field Ration D" bar specifically for troops serving overseas and more than 24 million Ration D bars were produced every week by the end of 1945.
Hershey continues to support U.S. troops serving both domestically and in overseas conflicts. This includes the company's product donation program, where Hershey sends a variety of products to men and women serving in the military. During the past 10 years, Hershey has sent care packages to the troops consisting of more than 4,500 cases of product. In addition, The Hershey Company has employed hundreds of veterans over the years and many have gone on to become leaders in the company. Today, there are more than 500 veterans in Hershey's workforce.
"The Hershey Company has a long tradition of supporting the U.S. military. From the creation of the ration bar to the donation of products and to our commitment to hiring veterans, Hershey is proud to honor the service of our veterans and sponsor the Miami-Dade County Veterans Day celebration," said Anna Lingeris, spokesperson for The Hershey Company.
On July 16, 2013, County Commissioners adopted a resolution sponsored by Commissioner Diaz to support the parade and commemoration.
The mission of the Military Affairs Board is to provide the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners with recommendations regarding the military and veterans, with a focus on issues concerning the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard Reserves. It serves as an advocate for active duty, reserve, retired, disabled and deceased military personnel in Miami-Dade County.
