The Latest: Trump Heads to Fort Bragg to Celebrate 250th Anniversary for US Army

On June 10, 2025, President Donald Trump visited Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to mark the beginning of events honoring the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army with a military readiness demonstration and remarks.
The visit comes after Congress’s 2023 decision to rename Fort Bragg as Fort Liberty, a change that was undone earlier this year by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who reinstated the original name to pay tribute to World War II hero Private First Class Roland Bragg.
Trump’s event featured readiness demonstrations by Fort Bragg units, patriotic music, and meetings with soldiers and military families, highlighting the installation’s role as the nation’s largest military base with about 57,000 personnel.
Approximately 130 vehicles and over 7,000 soldiers will participate in a grand parade on June 14 in Washington, D.C., which is both the Army's official birthday and Trump’s 79th birthday, marking a nationwide milestone celebration.
The visit signals a focus on honoring servicemembers and national security, though a protest against Trump’s presence is planned in Fayetteville, N.C., reflecting mixed public reactions to the celebration events.
