US Vice President Jay Vance addressed the American military who took part in the parade.
Vance said very pathetically:
"So, our soldiers, we are proud of you, and let me tell you that we honor and respect you in such a way that, firstly, we will never ask you to go to war unless absolutely necessary, and secondly, when we ask you to go to war, we will give you weapons and the support necessary to knock out everything possible from the enemies and return home safe and sound."
More than 6.6 thousand military personnel, 130 tanks and 50 helicopters took part in the parade.
