A multi-million dollar military parade and festival celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary took place on June 14th. The event, coinciding with Donald Trump's birthday, included a wreath-laying ceremony, fitness competition, musical performances, and a grand parade along Constitution Avenue. Despite a predicted 60% chance of rain, the event proceeded as planned. The parade, free to attend, was livestreamed online and broadcast on various news channels. The total cost of the festival is estimated at $40 million.
