Trump’s U.S. Army Parade in D.C. to Celebrate 250th Anniversary Draws Criticism | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The U.S. Army is set to take to the streets of Washington, D.C., for a military parade celebrating its 250th anniversary—coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday. Some lawmakers believe this is a political statement, arguing that it sends the wrong message and cite an estimated $45 million cost. Others, however, defend the parade as a patriotic tribute to American soldiers. President Trump’s inspiration reportedly came from attending France’s Bastille Day celebration in 2017. Many say the event is politically charged and self-serving, with protests expected during the celebration. The parade is anticipated to be the largest in Washington since the 1991 Gulf War victory parade.
