Two M1 Abrams tanks and two Bradley Fighting Vehicles were to be moved into place Tuesday night to be on “static display” during President Donald Trump’s “Salute to America,” a defense official told ABC News, as part of the president’s effort to re-shape the annual July Fourth celebration on the National Mall.

Suitable locations around the Lincoln Memorial that can bear the tanks’ 60-ton weight were being looked at as possible locations, another defense official told ABC News.

Trump was set to give a speech at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday in front of the Lincoln Memorial, highlighting the U.S. military, and multiple fighters and other aircraft were preparing for flyovers above the Mall during the president’s remarks.

Trump tweeted on Tuesday, “The Pentagon & our great Military Leaders are thrilled to be doing this & showing to the American people, among other things, the strongest and most advanced Military anywhere in the World. Incredible Flyovers & biggest ever Fireworks!”

But one thing that’s not known is how much the military’s participation will cost taxpayers. Officials are saying little and congressional Democrats have complained their questions aren’t being answered.

The flyovers will include the Navy’s Blue Angels flight demonstration team as well as other aircraft from the Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. That includes one of the Boeing 747s that serves as Air Force One and the public’s first look at the new version of the Marine One helicopter that is not yet on active duty.Read more
