Trump gets wish for military parade

The military will fulfill President Trump’s wish for a military parade on Veterans Day. To minimize damage to Washington streets, the parade will include only wheeled vehicles, not the heavy vehicles, like tanks, that line the streets of Paris on Bastille Day. The parade will also include warplanes flying overhead at the end. The idea reportedly came to Trump after he visited Paris last year. (Washington Post)
