People discuss during Flag Day and the 250th birthday for the United States Army in Washington, DC, USA, on June 14, 2025.President Donald Trump also celebrated his 79th birthday with a Military Parade in Washington.

A military parade set to commemorate the 250th birthday of the United States Army is set to occur in Washington D.C. and ABC will have live coverage at 6:30 p.m. The parade coincides with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday,

The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.

Millions of demonstrators mobilized around the country as a smaller, subdued crowd gathered to witness the display of grandeur and might in the nation’s muggy capital.

Donald Trump threw a military parade in honor of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 (a date that happens to be the president’s birthday) to the tune of $25 to $45 million. But unfortunately for Trump, photos and videos from the big day show sparse attendance and a lack of organization from top to bottom.

Visitors from afar revel in the surreal sight of tanks in DC, celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary with pride, as crews work to get DC back to normal.

The protest coincides with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary celebration and parade, which is also President Donald Trump's birthday and Flag Day.
