President Trump is hosting a parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on Saturday, 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 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.

On Saturday, for the first time in more than 30 years, the U.S. military is holding a big parade. The event is intended to celebrate the 250th birthday of the Army and to remind Americans of their debt to men and women in uniform.

All those arrested outside the U.S. Capitol will be charged with unlawful demonstration and crossing a police line, authorities said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight years after President Donald Trump was dazzled by a grand military parade down the Champs-Élysées in Paris, he is finally getting a chance to try to top the spectacle.

President Donald Trump on Saturday is set to host a major military parade in Washington, celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary and Flag Day.
