Trump Gets His Military Parade (Without Tanks)
March 10, 2018 at 7:54 am EST
By Taegan Goddard
The event, which will take place Nov. 11, will include troops from different branches, highlight the growing role of women in the armed forces and have a heavy air component of modern and historic war planes, the memo says.

(10,192 posts)I use to be involved in military displys in DC. You would not believe how much time and effort is put into these displays/events. And what the military gets out of it is practically nothing.
I feel sorry for the people who will be organizing this. Careers will begin and end based on how well they put on this show for a criminal.
All I can say is I'm glad I don't work there anymore.

Good thing military veterans are getting the care they deserve.

Nanny McPhee's medals were for better actions and qualities than trump possesses. (Courage, kindness, resolve, imagination, enthusiasm, basket-work, and leaps of faith.)
