Thousands have gathered today near the Washington Monument, ostensibly for the Army’s 250th anniversary military parade, but the most enthusiastic had clearly shown up for another occasion: Trump’s 79th birthday.

Thousands of soldiers wearing uniforms from the Revolutionary War era to the present, dozens of tanks, military flyovers, parachute jumpers and a special firework display will fill the streets and skies of Washington,

President Donald Trump watched tanks and soldiers march down Constitution Avenue from a viewing stand near the White House.

The stage is being set and tanks are arriving for the Army's military parade to celebrate the service's 250th anniversary on Trump's birthday.

Hundreds boarded the 10:25 a.m. ferry from Bainbridge Island to Seattle on Saturday morning to demonstrate — one of many "No Kings" protests held Saturday.

WSJ's senior political correspondent Molly Ball reports from the parade route, where vintage tanks and other military hardware are rolling down Constitution Avenue in Washington.

The Army deleted a video from its social media that showed a tank en route to the June 14 parade on a train car spray-painted with the death threat.

Preparations are underway for a military parade Saturday in Washington, D.C., celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary that is projected to cost $45 million and possibly higher because of possible road damage.
