President Donald Trump praised the United States Army as the “greatest, fiercest and bravest fighting force” at the conclusion of a grand display of military might in the nation’s capital Saturday as the Army celebrated its 250th birthday with a parade.

Trump had long dreamed of holding a parade showcasing America’s military might, and this one featured a steady stream of Abrams battle tanks, a fleet of armored Stryker and Bradley fighting vehicles, a flock of artillery launchers, as well as Black Hawk, Apache, and Chinook helicopters.

Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa., has voiced support for President Donald Trump ’s military parade, saying Americans should support it regardless of politics.

Donald Trump turned 79 June 14, 2025, the same day as the Army's 250th birthday parade in DC. Melania was there, but not all of Trump's children were.

The Rock Hall of Famer said the song is a "powerful piece of music that was never intended for political use."

Hillary Clinton sparks controversy after comparing Trump's military parade to 'No Kings' protests, drawing criticism from conservatives for disrespecting the Army's anniversary.

Sen. Rand Paul criticized the June 14 military parade, arguing that it was too expensive and “glorified” weapons.
