Opponents to President Donald Trump’s plans for a costly military parade in Washington now include the American Legion, the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization.

“The American Legion appreciates that our President wants to show in a dramatic fashion our nation’s support for our troops,” American Legion National Commander Denise Rohan said in a statement Thursday night. “However, until such time as we can celebrate victory in the War on Terrorism and bring our military home, we think the parade money would be better spent fully funding the Department of Veteran Affairs and giving our troops and their families the best care possible.”

Quote from CNN- Funds to cover the event would have needed to come from the federally funded Emergency Planning and Security Fund

Diaper Dan lies: Not true.



2018 EP0 Emergency Planning and Security Fund

Wednesday, July 19, 2017
The mission of the Emergency Planning and Security Fund (EPSF) is to record expenses for which federal funding has been approved under the authority found in the federal payment for “Emergency Planning and Security Costs in the District of Columbia” section of the District’s annual Appropriations Act.

The costs shown below are generally related to:




Providing public safety at events related to the presence of the Nation’s Capital in the District;




Providing response support to immediate and specific terrorist threats or attacks in the District; and




Providing support for requests from the United States Secret Service. (If traitor trump was at the stupid shit parade, the secret service would have to be there, too)

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, Public Law No. P.L. 114-113 (December 18, 2015) authorized a direct federal payment to the District in the amount of $13,000,000, which is available until expended, and continued the authorization for reimbursement of expenditures related to support requested by the Director of the United States Secret Service.
