Unlike Veterans Day (honoring all who served) or Memorial Day (honoring those who died in service), Armed Forces Day specifically pays tribute to active-duty personnel across all six branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force.
Did you know??? Bremerton Armed Forces Day Parade is the longest-running Armed Forces Day parade in the U.S. This years parade will be on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at 12:30 PM in Downtown Bremerton, featuring a performance by the Navy Band Northwest.
