Little Neck - Douglaston Memorial Day Parade 2026

Commemorates today the ultimate sacrifice, Memorial Day, the Ahepas. And we're celebrating those people that gave their lives for freedom and democracy. And freedom and democracy is politics. We have to do a better job of politics together. Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all the families who are here to pay tribute to our veterans. Today's a great day. We are all out here commemorating those we've lost in the battles for America. And I thank everyone for their service. And we'll be out here every year honoring you. Today is a very honorable day because 25 years I've been attending this parade. And I just discovered that there's 100 final DAPA members. And that is awesome because they are about peace, just like the veterans fought for peace. I grew up here. So this is where I grew up. So I come here every year. You know, it had a lot of color. And it's very, very nice. This is our hope. The greatest voice, the bravest voice. Today, as an Asian, as a Chinese, when I see the Chinese culture of the East showing up again in front of the people of New York, I am very excited, very proud. When we are proud, we read the same language. Some of our culture has been completely filled by the CCP's distorted, distorted culture. This is what today's parade is all about. Today's DAPA parade, whether it's their costume, their team, whether it's their waistband, whether it's their uniform, they all let the people go. Only good, sincerity, truth, is an essential part of promoting world civilization. So many people, I see the people of the United States, I see the arrival of Chinese culture. They are cheering, they are applauding, they are filming. I feel very proud. I feel that I am a good friend of the DAPA. But I really feel very proud. You bring these beautiful things to our communities in the United States, in every corner, in every parade, in every event, and pass them on to millions of Americans.
