The military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday ended with rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting in the air … and, we’ve got all the pics of a fireworks finale that will blow you away.
Check out all the images from the end of the big event in Washington D.C. … with a display that’s sure to transfix you just like it did President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
The explosions lit up captial’s most famous monuments — like the obelisk which also bears the town’s namesake — as thousands of people who attended the event looked up in awe.
As you know … this parade — which began around 6 PM ET today — was a hotly debated topic among the president’s supporters and his detractors, especially amid unrest in some of nation’s biggest cities Saturday.
“No Kings” rallies — demonstrations against the Trump administration’s policies, specifically the ones pertaining to immigration and undocumented immigrants — raged all over the nation Saturday … and, they appeared mostly peaceful.
Protests were especially intense in Los Angeles last weekend … with law enforcement engaging protesters and rioters in places like Downtown L.A. and Paramount, CA — a suburban area about 20 minutes from DTLA.
Despite high tensions, there was no violence in D.C. during the parade … though there was picketing against POTUS in other parts of town.
President Trump spoke at the ceremony BTW … but, he didn’t really wade into anything political — instead keeping the event focused on the troops.
Fourth of July is still a couple weeks away … but, it’ll be hard to top this fireworks show!
