There are more than half a million veterans living in Arizona. Sunday, November 11, 2012 is Veterans Day. Phoenicians will be honoring our veterans at many events around the Valley of the Sun, including the annual VA Medical Center's Veterans Day Parade. The parade, which will take place on Monday, November 12, 2012, welcomes Wayne Newton as the Grand Marshal. This year's parade theme is "Healing Wounds, Honoring Their Sacrifice."

Did you know that there are three Arizona license plates relating to our veterans? One is for veterans, one is for female veterans, and one is the freedom plate which benefits the Arizona Veterans Donation Fund.
