SPC Angela Burnham The 4th of July Parade in Washington, DC will include an M 88 Tank retriever? They are still in service?
NTC - 1976 (?) era; the MSR into Ft Irwin was temporarily bisected while several concrete tank crossing were built for tanks to cross that MSR w/o damaging the asphalt pavement.
Minimal ‘strobe’ warning lites warned of the construction sites for those tank crossings.
The CAARNG MP Desk Sergeant at the time; also a member of the California Highway Patrol and a motorcycle officer for the CHP dismissed my plea for better lighting at those sites.

It's funny that Obama promised the GWOT Veterans a large parade but in 8 years never delivered on the promise. The GWOT parade would have cost much more than what Trump is doing now for the 4th. I think the additional money he is spending is trivial given what politicians regularly blow in DC on politically motivated events.

SPC Erich Guenther - That's Senator Chuck Schumer, not former President Barrack Obama. But I agree, they should have sent the "new shermans" to be in the parade too. You can never have enough parades.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Because a news item begs the question on why it is newsworthy or controversial if it was done or proposed in the recent past and I am not a Trump supporter.just tired of a lifetime of Liberal BS and Liberal Domestic Policy failure.

SPC Erich Guenther - Specialist, perhaps you should take a breather and study what you are arguing. I lost you.
