In Washington D.C., the National Memorial Day Parade hosted by the American Veterans Center, proceeds down Constitution Avenue on Monday afternoon and is broadcast live on all the major networks.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Washington, D.C., area, Memorial Day is observed in thousands of cities and towns throughout the nation every year.<\/p>\n
