- On June 14, 2025, the U.S. Army celebrated its 250th year with a major military parade in Washington, D.C., an event that took place on the same day as President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
- Although the Army had been organizing anniversary celebrations for over a year, the inclusion of a parade emerged only recently, following persistent efforts by Trump despite initial resistance from the Pentagon and considerable projected expenses.
- Nearly 2,000 'No Kings' protests were scheduled nationwide, including in Washington, D.C., opposing the parade and Trump’s administration policies on immigration and workforce cuts.
- The parade included approximately 6,600 soldiers, 49 aircraft, and 128 vehicles, with expenses projected to fall within the $25 to $45 million range, while Trump cautioned protesters that they would encounter a strong response.
- The event concluded with a fireworks display but faced uncertainty from forecasted thunderstorms and heightened tensions after Israeli airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites.
