President Donald Trump noted the “great crowd” that attended the Salute to America celebration honoring the United States military on the Fourth of July.
“A great crowd of tremendous Patriots this evening, all the way back to the Washington Monument,” he tweeted.
Attendees with tickets were admitted into the area around the Lincoln Memorial and half-way down the reflecting pool around 3 p.m. ET. Heavy rain commenced around 3:30 p.m. ET. The rain lasted for approximately two hours before abating before the celebration began at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Despite the rain — the entire area around the reflecting pool was packed by the time the celebration started.

IT IS NOT WORSHIP, IDIOT. IT IS RESPECT GUESS YOU NEVER SERVED. MAGA.
Worship? More like a well-deserved thank you.
It was nice to see the Park Service recognized, too.
The military is keeping jihadists and other radical idiots from taking your freedom July 6 @ 2:33. I proudly served and did not expect anybody to worship, it was my duty and I was honored to wear the uniform. You should feel blessed to be able to sleep at night knowing your country is secure.
