Tarrant County Veterans Day Parade is back for 105th year. Where it starts, plus the theme
Tarrant County’s annual Veterans Day parade is back for its 105th year.
The first-ever parade occurred in 1919 to celebrate those who fought in World War I, officials said in a press release.
This year also marks 175 years since the first military post was established in North Texas — Fort Worth.
It’s the 105th parade, not the 106th, because there was no parade in 1981.
