Here’s Who Will Headline The Army Anniversary Celebrations On Donald Trump's Birthday
HuffPost
Critics have likened this weekend's planned pageantry to the jingoistic displays of military might seen in North Korea.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight years after President Donald Trump was dazzled by a grand military parade down the Champs-Élysées in Paris, he is finally getting a chance to try to top the spectacle.
His long-delayed dream is expected to be realized Saturday with an extravaganza of American military might featuring tanks and other armored vehicles rolling through the nation’s capital, thousands of soldiers marching the streets and military aircraft flying overhead.
“God Bless the USA” singer Lee Greenwood will perform.
And in a final flourish, an elite parachute team is to jump from above the White House, land near Trump and hand him an American flag.
“I think it’s going to be great,” Trump said this week. “We’re going to celebrate our country for a change.”
