In the /*Maspeth*/ section of /*Queens*/, a parade honored members of the military killed in the line of duty.
The theme of this year's parade was "/*Honoring the Purple Heart*/".
Marchers included more than 60 members of the armed forces and around 1,000 civilian participants who rode in /*Army*/ vehicles and antique cars.
In /*Manhattan*/, congregants at a Midtown church hung memorial ribbons in honor of U.S. service members killed in the wars in /*Iraq*/ and /*Afghanistan*/.
Several active duty service members joined them for the annual event outside /*Marble Collegiate Church*/.
Each yellow ribbon has the name of a military member who sacrificed his or her life.
Each green ribbon represents prayers for peace.
And there was a special ceremony Sunday night in Brooklyn.
Live music and candles marked a service inside Green-Wood Cemetery.
The service was in honor of all soldiers killed in the Civil War.
This year marked the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and Green-Wood is home to more Civil War dead than any other cemetery in the North.
