- Washington, D.C. hosted a military parade on June 14 to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary along Constitution Avenue.
- This event followed weeks of planning with organizers aiming to focus on democratic values amid criticism calling it "an authoritarian birthday party."
- The parade included 6,169 soldiers arranged in formations of seven columns and ten rows, accompanied by 128 armored vehicles such as tanks, while 62 aircraft flew above.
- Officials expected up to 200,000 attendees, budgeted up to $45 million, and warned of metro delays, road closures, flight disruptions, and possible thunderstorms.
- Despite weather risks, the parade proceeded rain or shine and concluded with a 19-minute fireworks show and a flag presentation by the Army's Golden Knights parachute team.
