Thousands of soldiers wearing uniforms from the Revolutionary War era to the present, dozens of tanks, military flyovers, parachute jumpers and a special firework display will fill the streets and skies of Washington,

Coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday, the parade will feature tanks, bands and thousands of troops in honor of the Army’s 250th anniversary celebration.

President Trump is hosting a parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on Saturday, bringing tanks and soldiers to the streets of Washington, D.C., for the capital's first major military parade in more than three decades.

WSJ's senior political correspondent Molly Ball reports from the parade route, where vintage tanks and other military hardware are rolling down Constitution Avenue in Washington.

"It's really fun, and honestly nerve-wracking," said Jonas Chu, an armored vehicle driver who will appear in the Army's 250th anniversary parade.

Saturday is the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary festival and parade in Washington, D.C. Army officials say the event includes about 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles and, weather permitting, over 150 aircrafts.
