We veterans know who shows up for us. Often when there are no cameras. And like today, when it was cold as hell. Willie and Christina Geist ALWAYS show up for us.
Year after year. Tremendous people, parents, friends, role models and Americans.

But one of Mamdani’s first major public appearances since being elected might be at the parade. Which is the largest Vets Day parade in America. It’s also always soon after Election Day.
