U.S. Army to Hold Anniversary Parade in Washington on June 14

On Saturday, June 14, 2025, the U.S. Army will host a parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate its 250th anniversary, coinciding with Flag Day. The event will feature 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, and a parachute jump, honoring military service. Estimated costs range from $25–$45 million, with the Army pledging to cover road repairs.

Officials emphasize the parade’s focus on military heritage, though its alignment with President Trump’s 79th birthday has sparked debate. Critics urge prioritizing veterans’ services over displays, while supporters see it as a tribute to troops.
