Saturday, June 14 marks the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Army, and is also President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. This year, Trump’s administration will mark the occasion with a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the U.S. Army.
The U.S. Army’s Grand Military Parade in Washington, D.C., June 14 will feature approximately 6,600 soldiers, 150 military vehicles and 50 helicopters, The Associated Press reported.
About half of the military vehicles used in the parade are from Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood, and now, soon to be renamed Fort Hood again) in Texas, according to the U.S. Army. These vehicles include the M1A2 Abrams battle tanks, which weigh around 70 tons each.
Trump is expected to speak at the event.
The parade will be aired online and streamed on various platforms. Here’s how to watch at home.

‘No Kings’ protests planned for June 14
In response to the parade, scores of “No Kings Day” demonstrations are planned across America June 14, including in North Texas, to protest Trump and his administration’s policies.
Critics have questioned Trump’s decision to throw an expensive military parade at a time when service members, veterans and their families are being affected by cuts to federal programs and services.
This year’s parade is expected to cost between $25 million and $45 million. U.S. Army officials said in May the parade could cause up to $16 million in damage to D.C. streets — a figure that is already factored into the cost of the parade, according to NBC.
This parade will be the first time in more than 30 years that troops paraded in D.C. The last time was in 1991, when President George H.W. Bush honored Gulf War servicemembers in the largest military procession since World War II.
