President Trump is hosting a parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army today, bringing tanks and soldiers to the streets of Washington, D.C., for the capital's first major military parade in more than three decades.

The festival and military parade are Saturday, June 14, with tanks, aircraft and thousands of soldiers on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Millions of Americans are likely to tune in, whether to show bipartisan support for the troops, for Trump or just out of curiosity.

The parade, which falls on the president’s 79th birthday, is being held to commemorate the Army’s 250th anniversary.

Though Saturday, June 14, is President's 79th birthday, the Washington D.C. parade is meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

The military parade to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary and its convergence with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday are combining to create a peacetime outlier in U.S. history. Yet it still reflects global traditions that serve a range of political and cultural purposes.

The parade is scheduled to take place along the Constitution Avenue NW. It begins from the Constitution Avenue NW and the 23rd Street and will conclude on the 15th Street alongside the National Mall. The ending point is near the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Only Donald Trump would hold a military parade on his birthday in a country where the concept of marching soldiers through the street isn't very common
