A minor-league football championship game will air on ABC. Fox News, CNN and C-SPAN will carry the four-hour festivities live.

Shortly after 6:15 p.m., an announcer declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, our parade is officially under way.” Members of the military began marching past the reviewing stand, as people in the crowd applauded and held up their phones.

Dissent against the parade is also coming partly from within one of Trump’s most reliable support bases: veterans. Although former U.S. military personnel have historically voted with wide margins in favor of Trump and the Republican Party, there is a growing discontent among some within the community.

The hosts of “The View” gave their two cents on President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C. As expected, they’re not exactly saluting it. On Friday’s episode, panelist Joy Behar informed the audience that “tanks will be rolling through the nation’s capital.

The last time the United States held a national military parade was in June 1991, timed to welcome returning veterans of the 100-day Persian Gulf War.

The military parade to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary and its convergence with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday are combining to create a peacetime outlier in U.S. history. Yet it still reflects global traditions that serve a range of political and cultural purposes.

The parade is scheduled to take place along the Constitution Avenue NW. It begins from the Constitution Avenue NW and the 23rd Street and will conclude on the 15th Street alongside the National Mall. The ending point is near the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
