A costly military parade celebrating the US Army's 250th anniversary is taking place this Saturday, funded in part by major tech companies like Oracle, Lockheed Martin, and Amazon. While some sponsors, including Walmart and FedEx, clarified their donations are not directly funding the parade itself, others like Oracle confirmed their participation. The parade, criticized for its extravagance and perceived connection to President Trump's birthday, is expected to cost tens of millions of dollars. The event's organizer, America250, a nonprofit, has faced past controversies including lawsuits alleging mismanagement and potential quid pro quo arrangements.
