Until recently, the Army’s long-planned birthday celebration did not include a big parade. Added under the Trump administration, the event, featuring hundreds of military vehicles and aircraft and thousands of soldiers, has divided veterans.

The Army is commemorating its 250th anniversary with a festival and parade in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, June 14, which is also President Trump's 79th birthday.

WASHINGTON − People attending the Army’s 250 th birthday celebration and military parade in the nation’s capital have been warned: Everyone is getting scanned, watch out for drones and leave the emotional support animals home.

In addition to the roads that will be closed for the parade route itself, there will be some transit adjustments and some parking restrictions.

U.S. Army posted a now-deleted video of military tanks being transported to the nation’s capital on Saturday. One of the flatcars had graffiti that called for the execution of two well-known figures.

Hundreds of soldiers based in Georgia will participate this Saturday in the military parade promoted by President Donald Trump, a massive commemoration of the U.S. Army.

As the 250th anniversary celebration for the US Army approaches, a freight train of tanks was seen making its way into the nation’s capital. The parade on June 14 will feature dozens of M1-A1 Abrams tanks and Bradley and Stryker fighting vehicles rolling through the streets of DC,
