After a roaring success on Independence Day, President Trump announced from the White House Monday afternoon Salute to America will take place again next year.
"I hope you all had a truly wonderful Independence Day weekend in spite of the heavy rain, and it was really heavy, we had a remarkable Salute to America on the National Mall. Incredible," Trump said. "Standing on the steps of the great Lincoln Memorial and looking out on the crowd, these incredible, big beautiful crowds braving the weather all the way back to the Washington Monument, we celebrated freedom and all of its magnificence while saluting our great military. It was something very special and I will say this, it was a wonderful day for all Americans."
"Based on all of its success we're just making the decision and I think we can say we've made the decision to do it again next year and maybe we can say for the foreseeable future," he continued.
Last week hundreds-of-thousands of Americans flocked to the National Mall to participate in the historic event. President Trump gave a speech honoring each branch of military, coupled with flyovers of helicopters, fighter jets, bombers and the famous Blue Angels.

The annual fireworks display from the mall was extra spectacular after donors extended the length of the show.
The man never never quits. More tanks more plans. More Lib turds going crazy.
Should of held off the announcement till next year.
Now the Left has lots of time for planning mischief.................
It should happen EVERY year, even if Marxists are in office....heaven forbid.
Communist Party USSA will demand equal time since it’s an election year
Yay!!! And the media and ‘RATS will go absolutely insane over this.
Good! Next year figure out the tanks and troops!
Maybe more tanks next time. And nuclear submarines.
Hey, it not only was fun. Seeing the libtard heads explode was even more fun. And it cost less than Barry and Mooche spent on their five star vacations.
This will put the left’s knickers in a major twist.
A large airborne drop into the reflecting pool would be impressive.
and later....with my little ones in tow.

Trump Declares New Holiday: Tanksgiving
WASHINGTON D.C.—During a meeting with officials about Trump’s Fourth of July tank parade, one of the men on Trump’s staff jokingly said to another, “Happy Tanksgiving.” The man—a father of four children (obviously)—was overheard by the president who immediately decided this “Tanksgiving” thing was a great idea.
“It’ll be a day of tanks. Big tanks, little tanks, all the best tanks. The greatest tanks, really terrific tanks. Tanks are fun to watch drive around, everyone agrees. Believe me, this is what the country wants more than anything,” Trump told the press. “And it’s a great play on words. Very clever.”
Tanksgiving will be the nation’s first monthly holiday and will be celebrated the third Thursday of every month.
Thank you Mr. President...and our lovely First Lady, Melania.
They can have a parade in Mexico City.
Some vintage warbirds would be a nice touch. We need to remember history.
Next year is the 75th Anniversary of the end of WWII. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of WWII re-enactors who would be thrilled to march in the big parade.
Have an old Saturn V moon rocket somehow paraded. That would send the dims to the moon! :)
I hope everyone saw the fireworks display on RSBN. It was truly mind-blowing.
“Maybe more tanks next time. And nuclear submarines.”
Amphibious vehicles! We need more amphibious vehicles.
I’d love to go next year, but I couldn’t stand for that long. The old legs, back, and knees couldn’t take it.
