    VoteVets, an organization that focuses on nonpartisan education and advocacy on behalf veterans and their families, said on Twitter that it has submitted a Letter of Intent with Washington, D.C., to hold the race around the National Mall next year.

    The announcement came the same day Trump canceled his plans for a military parade in the capital, citing its soaring cost estimates.

    “So, unless he kicks out a veterans race, [Trump] will not get his ego parade there, on that day next year, either,” the organization added in the tweet, with the hashtag “#NoTrumpParade.”...

    Will they let them tie up traffic on a holiday?

    Either way, the Marine Corps Marathon is a huge event in DC so this will seem small in comparison a few weeks later. People travel from all over God's creation for that one since it is a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon.

    If we get nothing else out of this joke of a President, we'll at least get plenty to laugh at.

    Odd...why not have it to honor the anniversary (One Hundred) of World War One?Sounds like VoteVets is thoughtless progressive group that devotes most of it's time and money to the Dems and˙elections, not Vets. Hmmm

    There are a lot of groups out there using the Veteran mantle in ways that are largely self-serving. I get your point, but they are not unique in this regard.

    I prefer the POTUS have military experience. How does Obama not having it change Trump getting 3 deferments? Obama had to register for the draft, but did he actively avoid service?
