President Donald Trump praised the United States Army as the “greatest, fiercest and bravest fighting force” at the conclusion of a grand display of military might in the nation’s capital Saturday as the Army celebrated its 250th birthday with a parade.

President Trump delivered remarks at the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army Grand Military Parade and Celebration, an event he envisioned.

The parade must go on, and the Army sidestepped a major crisis of image and messaging. The Army’s 250th birthday parade was not the grand military spectacle that many anticipated, and for that Americans can breathe a momentary, measured sigh of relief.

Sen. Rand Paul criticized the June 14 military parade, arguing that it was too expensive and “glorified” weapons.

Pa., has voiced support for President Donald Trump’s military parade, saying Americans should support it regardless of politics. "This parade is comprised of our sons, daughters, mothers and fathers — the very best of us.

“Earlier today, during a parade held in support of our nation’s military and organized by President Donald Trump, the song ‘Barracuda’ by Heart was played without permission or authorization from us,“ Wilson said in a post on Instagram late Saturday night.

Activists protested against President Donald Trump near his Mar-a-Lago residence as part of nationwide protests against the Trump administration on Saturday (June 14), as Trump oversees a historic military parade on the U.

Thousands of Americans flocked to downtown D.C. in "Make America Great Again" hats and patriotic gear displaying Old Glory despite the balmy weather and thunderstorms brewing.
