Washington, DC – On June 14th, 2025 (Saturday) — U.S. Army's 250th birthday was celebrated with a grand military parade in Washington, D.C. The parade, part of a larger week-long celebration, featured thousands of soldiers, military vehicles, and aircraft, showcasing the Army's history and modern capabilities. It coincided with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday and Flag Day. It featured dozens of armored tanks and artillery vehicles, such as HIMARS, Army aircraft, including Black Hawk helicopters and Apaches, and more than 6,000 uniformed troops. The idea was to walk viewers through the history of American military conflict, with some historical uniforms and vehicles being used. The parade stirred up controversy for what opponents view as a politicization of the nation's armed forces and a break from U.S. democratic norms, and sparked an organized No Kings protest movement across the country. The parade drew both praise and criticism, with some lauding it as a display of military strength and patriotism, while others criticized it as a politicization of the military and an unnecessary expense. #washingtondc #unitedstates #militaryparade #250thanniversary #trump #flagday #usarmy #usarmyparade #history #fafo #dontfuckwithusa #celebration - @feared.texas
