  • Military parade to honour US Army will fall on Trump's birthday

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Pelle_Svansl=C3=B6s?=@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 3 15:13:30 2025
    The White House has confirmed a military parade will be held to mark the
    US Army's 250th anniversary on 14 June, which falls on the same day as President Donald Trump's birthday.

    A "day-long festival" will be held on the National Mall in Washington
    DC, an army spokesperson said, adding that the event would feature 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles and 50 aircraft.

    Trump first floated a military parade during his first term, but he
    scrapped the idea after reports it would have cost about $90 million (£71m).

    The army said planning for the military parade was "actively underway",
    and it was exploring "options to make the celebration even bigger, with
    more capability demonstrations, additional displays of equipment, and
    more engagement with the community." Trump turns 79 that day.

    He first proposed a military parade for Veterans Day in 2018.

    Bonespurs is not going to like what the social media will say about this.

    Which reminds me. "U.S. press freedom falls to historical low".

    Iceberg isn't happy about this.

    "Press freedom in the United States has hit a record low, according to the latest World Press Freedom Index published annually by Reporters Without Borders."



    So you can ignore it.
