As we celebrate Memorial Day in the U.S., thousands will gather in Washington, D.C. for the National Memorial Day Parade honoring all of those who have served in uniform. However, even if you’re not in D.C., you can still have the best seat along the parade route (without camping out) by tuning into Military Channel from 2-4pm ET.

The parade will devote a special segment to remember the heroes of 9/11, and will also include a tribute to the Special Operations teams that are currently leading the fight in Afghanistan. You can also follow the action through @MilitaryChannel‘s live updates from the Mall and share your tributes with others on Twitter.

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to the men and women who have served and continue to serve the United States!
