Wait – what – there isn’t a parade on Veterans Day, November 11th? Answer – Not a “Military Parade” which is what President Trump has requested. Looks like we are going to spend between $10 million and $30 million hard earn dollars on a parade. Wouldn’t it be better to spend that money helping veterans?
President Trump wants a military parade — and he’s getting one. The Pentagon confirmed to CBS News’ David Martin that it has a received a memo from National Security Adviser to plan a military parade for Veterans Day, Nov. 11.
In addition to being Veterans’ Day, the date marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. It also will be after the midterm elections. Mr. Trump’s budget director estimates such a parade will cost between $10 million and $30 million.
