摘要

President Trump wil celebrate July 4 on the National Mal with music, military demonstrations and flyovers, part of his "Salute to America" event that wil take place at the Lincoln Memorial."Come on down — we're going to have a big day," Trump told a cheering crowd of supporters in Orlando, Fla., last night as he formaly announced his plan to seek reelection in 2020. "Bring your flags."Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, who was tapped by Trump earlier this year to coordinate the event, roled out the oficial schedule this morning, including plans to shift the fireworks display and open up sections of the National Mal that are usualy closed on Independence Day due to the traditional fireworks launch site at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump predicted that "hundreds of thousands of people" wil join him for the event, which the Interior Department described as "a celebration of America's military" that Trump wil lead."We're going to celebrate America — sounds good, right?" Trump said last night. Bernhardt said Trump wil give a speech to honor the military's five service branches and that participants wil include the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, U.S. Army Band, Armed Forces Chorus and U.S. Marine Corps Silent Dril Platoon, among others.
