US President Donald Trump will be hosting a military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th birthday on June 14, which is also his birthday, the White House said today, APA reports citing Fox News.
“To celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday on June 14, President Trump will honor American Veterans, active-duty servicemembers, and military history with a military parade!” Anna Kelly, White House deputy press secretary, wrote on X, linking to a Fox News story about the parade.
Detailed Army plans for the parade call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, The Associated Press reported yesterday.
High costs halted Trump’s push for a parade in his first term, and the tanks and other heavy vehicles that are part of the Army’s latest plans have raised concerns from city officials about damage to roads.
