TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) -The US Department of Defense has issued a memo with guidance for President Donald Trump's proposed military parade scheduled for Veterans Day on November 11, the anniversary of the end of World War l.
According to the memo released by the media, the parade will go from the White House to Capitol Hill, and include soldiers dressed in period uniforms, and to minimize damage to roads it will not include tanks.
President Trump will watch the event while accompanied by veterans and Medal of Honor recipients in the Capitol's reviewing area.
The Pentagon handed over the memo to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Thursday, according to CNN.
The White House announced in February that Trump wanted a parade to highlight America’s military power, in an untraditional demonstration of force.
The request for a parade came after Trump was impressed by France's Bastille Day parade, where he was received with great fanfare by French President Emmanuel Macron in July 2017.
Trump told Macron that when he went back to the US he wanted a military parade in Washington.
The announcement sparked a strong public reaction, particularly regarding the estimated $30 million price tag.
Trump initially discussed the matter with senior military leaders in a meeting in January.
