Military parade to proceed in Washington DC despite weather, protest concerns

President Donald Trump is set to host a military parade in Washington, DC, on June 12, 2025, coinciding with the Army's 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday.
The parade was originally planned separately but was added by Trump to the longstanding Army and Flag Day celebrations amid past logistical and financial challenges.
The event will showcase tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue, thousands of soldiers marching, military aircraft flyovers, and an elite parachute team delivering a flag to Trump.
Trump said, "I think it’s going to be great," and the White House pledged the parade will proceed rain or shine despite possible thunderstorms and planned 'No Kings' protests.
The parade aims to honor veterans and active-duty military, but critics predict protests; security includes 18 miles of fencing and drone surveillance to manage potential unrest.
