Chattanooga’s Armed Forces Parade is the longest continuous running Armed Forces Parade in the United States at 76 years. Each year a branch of the United States Military is honored and here in 2025, for the first time, Space Force will be honored. The Chief of Space Operations for the United States Space Force General B. Chance Saltzman will be the keynote speaker.

The Chattanooga Area Veterans Council was established in 1983 to serve the veterans community by providing quarterly briefings between the Veterans Administration and member organizations.  Additionally, the Council works to streamline and support efforts for veterans and their families, to provide resources for military families in the tri-state area - Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama - and to coordinate commemorative events such as The Armed Forces Parade and Luncheon.
