June 14, 2025 is a day that will go down in American history as the first huge military parade since Eisenhower’s Inauguration. In celebration of the Army’s inception by General George Washington June 14, 1775, the nation celebrated the 250th Anniversary with a Grand Parade. June 14th is also Flag Day as well as President Trump’s 79th Birthday. What a day for all the United States to celebrate. Many towns and Army bases celebrated on the same day as well with equipment and fair-like booths and activities. Here are some of the highlights of yesterday’s events.
Before the parade, the public got to check out Army equipment and more.
🚨 JUST IN: It's getting started in D.C. as attendees are posing with weapons and tanks ahead of the parade.

America is back! Just an FYI, here is a historical photo of the last time America had a Military Parade at Eisenhower’s Inauguration in 1953:
Soviet Union? No.
— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) June 15, 2025
North Korea? No.
This was a parade for Eisenhower’s inauguration in 1953.
Not even a wartime parade—WW 2 ended eight years earlier.
So the Left is not only re-writing history.
They are tying to prevent this sort of patriotism from rising again. pic.twitter.com/wLag2VAwaq
