"As the 250th anniversary celebration for the US Army approaches, a freight train of tanks was seen making its way into the nation's capital. The parade on June 14 will feature dozens of M1-A1 Abrams tanks and Bradley and Stryker fighting vehicles rolling through the streets of DC, as well as Howitzers and other artillery pieces, officials said."
