Military parade celebrates Army’s 250th

Cheers and chants rang out Saturday from a crowd of thousands as soldiers manned modern and historic tanks and aircraft for the Army’s 250th anniversary celebration in the District.

President Trump looked on from the main stage, sitting just south of the White House in an event featuring 50 helicopters, 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks and more than 6,000 soldiers, with some dressed in historical garb. The Army’s anniversary celebration coincided with Mr. Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day.
