How we doing hard-chargers!!
So we’ve gotten word that there are plans for a Veterans Day military parade, and it will be directed by none other than President Donald Trump.
There wont be any tanks coming down the streets of Washington, D.C., and it’s set to take place November 11th.
This parade will focus on contributions of our veterans throughout the history of the U.S. military. From the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 till todays present military operations, there will also be an emphasis on the price of freedom.
The parade will include wheeled vehicles, no tanks, this is to minimize the damage to local infrastructure. The parade will, however, include a heavy air component at the end, to include older aircrafts.
The parade will run from the White House to the U.S. Capitol.
It will represent veterans from prior wars by formations wearing uniforms of those specific times. As well as portions that highlight the evolution of women veterans from separate formations in World War II to today’s integrated formations.
Medal of Honor recipients will stand with Trump in the reviewing area at the Capitol.
Trump got the idea for a parade after attending France’s Bastille Day parade last year.
The idea, however, has been controversial…
Lawmakers have introduced measures to stop a parade, calling it a waste of time and resources.
A poll found that the huge majority of respondents oppose the idea for a parade.
The majority, 88 percent, said the military has more important needs to address.
A White House budget director told Congress that a parade could cost between $10 million and $30 million in order to honor our veterans on this special upcoming day.
