President Donald Trump isn’t taking “no tanks” for an answer on the Fourth of July, AP reported July 1.
He said Monday that a display of U.S. military tanks will be part of a special event he’s headlining July 4 in Washington — and an Associated Press photographer saw at least two M1A1 Abrams tanks and four other military vehicles on a flatcar in a railyard at the southeastern edge of Washington. The Abrams tanks weigh more than 60 tons apiece and would have been shipped, likely on railroad freight cars, from Fort Stewart, Georgia, the nearest Army base that has them.
CBS reports there will also be a military flyover, likely F-35 jets, military band performances, fireworks display and a presidential address, which you can watch on the network as it streams live coverage throughout the day.
