President Donald Trump will organize a military parade on June 14 to celebrate the members of the 250th birthday of the US Army. And the members of the Honor Service and the veterans. The date also marks Trump's birthday.
The event will feature military recreaters and teams from all the main conflicts of the United States, from the revolutionary war to the global war against terror. It will also include active service troops and students of the Military Academy.
“The president is planning a historical celebration of the 250th birthday of the army that will honor generations of selfless Americans who have risked everything for our freedom.
“Exactly 250 years ago, the first American patriots died for the cause of independence. We owe our freedom and all the soldiers who have given their lives for our nation in the 2 and a half years.
“As one of the first events of the celebration of the year of our 250 anniversary, this commemorative parade will be an appropriate tribute to the service, sacrifice and disinterest of the brave men and women who have used the uniform and dedicated their lives to defend the best experiment in freedom known by man,” said the director of the White House Policy Council, Vince Hoy.
The White House is working with the Pentagon, the DHS, the Service of National Parks and other agencies to organize the event.
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegesh, said: “We love our military and make us proud to honor our warriors. To celebrate the 250 years of the US Army. UU., We will launch the largest and most beautiful military parade in the history of our nation.”
The parade is derived from Trump's executive order in January that establishes the 250 task force, which leads federal planning for the semi -incidental celebrations of the United States.
That order also revived the initiatives of Trump's first mandate, including the National Garden of American Heroes, a planned park with 250 notable American statues. It also restored a previous order destined to protect monuments and statues.
According to the White House, the 250 anniversary offers “an opportunity to unite the American people around their shared history and their common future as a nation.”
Earlier this year, the Administration marked key moments in the history of the United States, including the 250 anniversaries of the “Give Me Liberty” speech by Patrick Henry, Paul Revere's trip and Lexington and Concord's battles.
The parade will be elapsed to the “Salute to America” ​​event of Trump, which included military steps, exhibition tanks and a speech in the Memorial Lincoln.
