U.S. President Donald Trump led the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the American military in Washington, D.C., on June 14, coinciding with his 79th birthday.
The event featured a grand military parade that included 6,700 troops and 84 military vehicles, drawing crowds and marking a significant historical milestone.
Tight security was implemented throughout the capital due to ongoing immigration protests and heightened global tension stemming from the conflict between Israel and Iran.
In his speech, President Trump honored the “fighting spirit and unyielding force” of the U.S. military, thanking servicemen and women for their sacrifice and loyalty to the nation.
The celebration served both as a tribute to the military’s long-standing legacy and a moment of patriotic pride during a tense period in American and global affairs.
