Trump to host military parade to celebrate Army's 250th birthday, honor active-duty service members, veterans
- The U.S. Army will hold a military parade on June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., to celebrate its 250th birthday and honor service members.
- The parade plan follows long-standing interest from Trump, who first proposed it after watching France's Bastille Day parade in 2017 but canceled an earlier event due to high costs and city objections.
- The parade is set to feature thousands of troops, over a hundred military vehicles, dozens of helicopters, and representatives from more than ten different corps and divisions, with the heavier vehicles positioned near the Lincoln Memorial.
- Army spokesman Steve Warren announced that the celebration will feature a parade, fireworks, and an all-day event on the National Mall, with officials estimating the parade’s cost to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
- The parade, designated as a special security event following a request from the National Park Service, will serve as the opening event of a yearlong celebration marking the nation’s 250th anniversary, which coincides with Trump’s 79th birthday.
