January 6, 2021, is etched in American history as a day of infamy when Donald Trump rallied his supporters in Washington, D.C. in an attempt to overturn the election results. Instead of victory, the nation witnessed chaos, destruction, and loss of life.
The aftermath left a profound impact, with five fatalities on that day and the tragic suicides of four officers in the months that followed. The events shattered the idea of a peaceful transfer of power, driven by those unwilling to accept the electoral outcome.
This January 6, 2026, marks five years since the violent insurrection, and participants plan to commemorate it in Washington, D.C. According to NBC Washington, some are set to march for what they consider "justice" on this significant anniversary.
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and others charged in relation to the events are organizing a march to honor both themselves and Ashli Babbitt, who was shot by a Capitol police officer during the riot.
“Join us as we march for Ashli on January 6th. We also march in memory of those who passed away. 5 years ago a beautiful life was taken from us. A veteran and a patriot. So I ask those that are able to attend please do so,” he wrote on X.
J6 Plaque Dedicated To Police Officers Removed Illegally
In related news, AP News has reported the mysterious removal of a plaque honoring the police officers who perished during the insurrection. Initially placed at the Capitol, its current whereabouts remain uncertain, with indications that it may be “in storage.” According to law, the plaque is meant to be on public display at all times. The Department of Justice, under the Trump administration, is seeking to have a lawsuit concerning its return tossed out. The absence of this plaque highlights ongoing attempts to alter the narrative surrounding the January 6 events.
Visitors to the Capitol, as of now, are met with no physical reminders of the insurrection that occurred five years ago.
