WASHINGTON (AFP): Parachutists glided through the air as soldiers marched and tanks groaned through the barricaded streets of Washington on Saturday (June 14) during a military parade long-coveted by US President Donald Trump, as a largely quiet crowd watched on.
On the National Mall, enclosed within almost 32km of high-security fencing, nearly 7,000 soldiers and about 150 military vehicles paraded to intermittent cheers.
