Trump's Military Parade Could Cost As Much As $50 Million
Picture this: troops in vintage uniforms marching through the streets as military aircraft carve the skies overhead  all in a grand celebration of Veteran's Day and the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. That's one scenario taking shape as the Pentagon maps out options for  the military parade President Trump  has requested.
In response to  Trump 's request  the Department of Defense has worked up five options  with price tags ranging from $3 million to as much as $50 million  a U.S. official told NPR.
Meanwhile White House budget director Mick Mulvaney told the House Budget Committee on Wednesday that "very preliminary" estimates he had seen put the cost at between $10 million and $30 million "depending on the size of  the parade   the scope of it  the length of it  those kinds of things."
 Trump  has said  he  wants to try and top the French Bastille Day parade  he  attended last year in Paris. It lasted just over two hours.
"We had a lot of planes going over and we had a lot of military might  and it was really a beautiful thing to see "  Trump  said in September describing the French parade from two months earlier. "They had representatives from different wars and different uniforms. It was really so well done."
 "President Trump  is incredibly supportive of America's great service members who risk their lives every day to keep our country safe "  she  said. "He has asked the Department of Defense to explore a celebration at which all Americans can show their appreciation."
