President Trump will make history next week when he and First Lady Melania attend the New York City Veterans Day Parade, marking the first time a sitting president has accepted the invitation to appear.
Doug McGowan, chairman of the United Veterans War Council, appeared with Constellation Group founder Bill White on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday to make the surprise announcement and praised the commander-in-chief for his constant support of the veteran community.
“I am proud to announce — honored to announce — that the commander-in-chief has accepted our invitation and will be leading the New York City Veterans Day Parade, the centennial, this year,” McGowan said.
“This is the first time [a sitting president has appeared]… Citizen Donald Trump in the ’80s, the 90s and again in the early 2000s has been here for the veteran’s community of New York.”
