WASHINGTON – The Army is planning a massive parade at the White House request on June 14th – U.S. officials say the service is sharing a birthday with President Donald Trump.
The parade’s plans include armored vehicles such as 6,000 soldiers, helicopters, strikers, Bradley Fighting Vehicles and possibly Abrams M-1 Tanks, officials not allowed to publicly speak.
The Army had planned a big celebration for that 250th Anniversary on June 14th White House officials proposed a parade. The soldiers march at the presidential inauguration event, but it is unclear whether they took part in the president’s birthday celebration. The official warned that plans for the parade remain tentative, but the event appears likely to happen.
The Associated Press first reported its parade plan. It will likely cost millions of dollars, and the parade route will pass through central Washington, D.C. along Constitutional Avenue.
During his first term, Trump appeared in the July 4th celebration in Washington. And the military provided equipment, including Bradley, at his request. He was criticized for politicizing the Independence Day event. There were also concerns about the damage caused to the city’s streets due to heavy armor, so the vehicle remained undisplayed to prevent biting the pavement.
The Army is planning many other events to celebrate non-parade anniversary.
