Trump Administration Explores Military Parade for June 14

Plans for a four-mile procession marking the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and Trump's 79th birthday are in early stages, sparking logistical and financial concerns.

The proposed military parade would run from the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, to the White House in Washington, D.C., spanning approximately four miles.
The event is planned to coincide with the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday on June 14, 2025.
Local officials, including Arlington County Board Chair Takis Karantonis and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, have been notified but received limited details about the parade's scope.
Concerns persist over potential road damage from heavy military vehicles and the high costs of public safety, echoing issues that derailed a similar plan in 2018.
The Army has been preparing broader celebrations for its anniversary, but the addition of a parade appears to have been introduced more recently by the White House.
