Trump is the first sitting president to attend the city's parade, and touted his New York City roots.
"It is truly an honor to come back to New York City to Madison Square Park to be the first president to ever attend America's parade," he said.
Trump referenced many recent victories for members of the military, from the operation to take out ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to improved veteran satisfaction with Veterans Affairs health care.
