Military parade on Trump's birthday could include more than 6,500 troops
- The United States plans a military parade in Washington D.C. On June 14, 2025, marking the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
- The event stems from President Trump's longstanding desire, initiated after his 2017 France visit, to hold large military displays in the capital.
- Preparations include nearly 6,700 soldiers, about 150 military vehicles—including heavy tanks—and 50 aircraft, with various historic and modern units participating.
- An official said planning remains underway without final approvals, and the parade could cost around $90-$92 million amid concerns about street damage.
- If held, the parade would be the largest US military event since 1991 and symbolize renewed national military celebration and veteran recognition.
