The grand navy parade that President Trump had been wanting for eight years kicked off Saturday with tanks, troops and a 21-gun salute.
The Republican president, on his 79th birthday, sat on a particular viewing stand south of the White Home to observe the show of American navy may, which started early as gentle rain fell and darkish clouds loomed.
It’s a procession Trump tried to make occur in his first time period after seeing such an occasion in Paris in 2017, however the plans by no means got here collectively till this yr, when it was added to an occasion recognizing the Military’s 250th anniversary.
