Sobre este título

In the past, most military parades in the U.S. were staged to signal the end of a war and welcome home of those who fought.

The last major military parade in the nation's capitol was in 1991. It marked the end of the Gulf War.

The capital has not seen a military parade like the one planned by President Trump for June 14th in decades - a parade estimated to cost $45 million.

NPR's Ari Shapiro speaks with historian Joshua Zeitz. He's a contributing editor for Politico Magazine and has written about where Trump's parade fits into the American tradition.
