Washington is throwing a big military parade this Saturday to mark the U.S. Army's 250th birthday—complete with thousands of troops marching in historic uniforms down Constitution Avenue. The event also happens to fall on former President Trump’s 79th birthday, though it’s unclear if that’s purely coincidental. Expect plenty of pomp, ceremony, and a show of military pride.

Editor’s Note: Military parades are rare in the U.S., so this is a notable display of national tradition—and a chance to see history in motion. Some might see it as pure celebration, while others could read political undertones given the timing. Either way, it’s a spectacle that doesn’t happen every day.
