ARLINGTON, VA. — Independence Day is one of the biggest celebratory occasions in Washington, D.C., in particular on the National Mall, where thousands of revelers traditionally gather to watch nighttime fireworks after a day of patriotic festivities.
In recent years, however, protecting the National Mall and its surroundings has gained heightened importance. This year, that level of security has been bolstered thanks to a successful NexGen Broadcast pilot conducted by SpectraRep and a Sinclair Broadcast Group entity.
