Pay tribute to America’s Heroes in the Nation’s Capital. There’s no better place to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend than in Washington, DC. Join us for this exclusive MARS Event celebrating the selfless service of our active duty military and their families; featuring: The National Memorial Day Concert at the Kennedy Center with the United States Airforce Orchestra & Band and MARS VIP Parade seating next to the troops, dignitaries, and live TV broadcasters. Memorial Day is more than a three-day weekend marking the beginning of summer. This day has a history stretching back all way to the Civil War and is an important reminder of those who died in the service of their country. In 2004 an outpouring of appreciation to the veterans of World War II spilled over to veterans of the more recent wars. A former Mayor of Washington, D.C., was so moved by this parade that he was instrumental in reinstating it as an annual event in conjunction with the American Veterans Center. Now, every year on Memorial Day, this three hour parade passes alongside the National Mall on Constitution Avenue between 7th and 17th Streets in a magnificent salute to America's Veterans, and in honor of those who died in the defense of our country. The parade consists of select marching bands and veteran units from each of the 50 States honoring World War I, World War II, The Korean and Vietnam Conflicts, Desert Storm, and the Liberation of Grenada, Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan. Large Patriotic floats and helium-filled balloons are also part of the procession. More than 10,000 participants take part in the parade each year. Join us for this EXCLUSIVE MARS EVENT in partnership with the American Veteran’s Center and the Gaylord National Harbor, as we pay tribute to America's Heroes with unique experiences and special events designed to provide guests with a meaningful and heartfelt celebration for our active duty military, veterans and their families.

Pay tribute to America’s Heroes in the Nation’s Capital. There’s no better place to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend than in Washington, DC. Join us for this exclusive MARS Event celebrating the selfless service of our active duty military and their families; featuring: The National Memorial Day Concert at the Kennedy Center with the United States Airforce Orchestra & Band and MARS

VIP Parade seating next to the troops, dignitaries, and live TV broadcasters.

Memorial Day is more than a three-day weekend marking the beginning of summer. This day has a history stretching back all way to

the Civil War and is an important reminder of those who died in the service of their country. In 2004 an outpouring of appreciation

to the veterans of World War II spilled over to veterans of the more recent wars. A former Mayor of Washington, D.C., was so moved

by this parade that he was instrumental in reinstating it as an annual event in conjunction with the American Veterans Center.

Now, every year on Memorial Day, this three hour parade passes alongside the National Mall on Constitution Avenue between 7th

and 17th Streets in a magnificent salute to America's Veterans, and in honor of those who died in the defense of our country. The

parade consists of select marching bands and veteran units from each of the 50 States honoring World War I, World War II, The

Korean and Vietnam Conflicts, Desert Storm, and the Liberation of Grenada, Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan. Large Patriotic floats

and helium-filled balloons are also part of the procession. More than 10,000 participants take part in the parade each year.

Join us for this EXCLUSIVE MARS EVENT in partnership with the American Veteran’s Center and the Gaylord National Harbor,

as we pay tribute to America's Heroes with unique experiences and special events designed to provide guests with a meaningful and

heartfelt celebration for our active duty military, veterans and their families.
