A woman was struck and killed by a truck that was carrying a U.S. Army M1 Abrams tank away that had been used for President Donald Trump's military parade on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., two days previously.

The schedule of events in Washington leaned strongly into themes of patriotism and gratitude for the Army on its 250th anniversary. The festivities included a range of exhibitions, fitness competitions on the National Mall, a recruitment drive and showcases of historical uniforms and equipment.
