Military parade held in Washington

US President Donald Trump's administration held a large-scale military parade in Washington on Saturday. The timing coincides with Trump's 79th birthday. The parade proceeded on a route from near the Lincoln Memorial to the south side of the White House.

The US Army said the parade features about 150 military vehicles, including Abrams tanks, and some 50 aircraft, including Blackhawk helicopters. An estimated 6,700 soldiers are participating. US media said this was the first major military parade in Washington since President George H. W. Bush staged one after the Gulf War in 1991. The US Army estimates the parade will cost up to 45 million dollars.
