The repair costs are part of the estimated $45 million price tag for the upcoming parade.
The cost to repair Washington, D.C., streets after the upcoming military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials.
That’s part of an estimated $45 million total cost for the June 14 military parade, which coincides with Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. The cost estimates have fluctuated as planning continues.
The parade itself will include about 130 vehicles, including 28 M1A1 tanks, 28 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, 28 Stryker armored fighting vehicles and a number of vehicles towing artillery launchers. More than 50 helicopters will also participate in an “extensive flyover” in the nation’s capital.
The event will also bring more than 9,000 soldiers from around the country to Washington, about 7,000 of whom will march in the parade itself. The event will also include at least eight Army bands, and some troops will ride on the nearly three dozen horses and two mules expected to march as part of a historical section of the parade.
Here’s the plan, we all show up, we boo and throw tacos.
ICE will detain so much people on June 14th and I dont mean as I wish it happens, but they are detaining even protesters, I bet I got you thinking I am talking about Palestine protests but no it was people declining to stop blocking the road from ICE driving by because of what they are doing
They have no accountability either in court (not like disrespecting orders is giving them any stop to this if no one is enforcing them to do so)
They only talk to media when they know they wont be fact-checked or interrupted from spitting nonsense
Taco’s filled with shit? Cause a regular tace would be a waste.
Agreed!
