Portland Veterans Day Parade Returns After One-Year Hiatus with F-15 Flyover

PORTLAND — At 10 a.m. on November 11, Portland's Veterans Day parade returned after a one-year hiatus, stepping off at Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Beech Street and proceeding to the Emerson Street area.

After the parade, a closing ceremony and veterans resource fair were held at Walnut Park, and F-15 fighters of the Oregon Air National Guard's 142nd Wing flew over the route in tribute.

The parade tradition began in 1974, founded by Vernon E. Ross; after the 2025 parade was canceled, veteran Napoleon Hodgers and others worked to bring it back this year.
