President Donald Trump will host a large-scale military parade on June 14 to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary — coinciding with his own birthday. Confirmed by Fox News and the Associated Press, the parade will feature military reenactors, equipment, and active-duty personnel representing every major U.S. conflict from the Revolutionary War to the Global War on Terror.
White House officials said the event will kick off a broader year-long celebration leading up to the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026. “It will be the biggest and most beautiful military parade in our nation’s history,” said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The parade follows Trump’s January executive order creating “Task Force 250” to coordinate the Semiquincentennial celebrations. However, concerns have already surfaced over costs and potential infrastructure damage, echoing similar issues that derailed a planned parade during Trump’s first term.
