New York: The Trump administration will hold a military parade on June 14, said White House spokesperson Anna Kelly in a post on social media on Friday.

“To celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday on June 14, President Trump will honor American Veterans, active-duty servicemembers, and military history with a military parade!” said Kelly.

The parade planning is actively underway, and approximately 150 vehicles, 50 aircraft, and 6,600 soldiers are anticipated to be involved, said a report by AFP quoting U.S. Army spokeswoman Heather Hagan.

The celebration also will feature fireworks and a festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., said Hagan.

The U.S. Army plans to have a week of celebrations for its 250th birthday, according to a planning document.

Notably, June 14 also marks U.S. President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

Trump floated the idea of holding a military parade in Washington, D.C., during his first term but the idea was shot down on high costs and concerns over possible damages to streets from military vehicles.

The previous major military parade in the U.S. capital was held in 1991 to mark the end of the Gulf War.
