The army is planning a large parade that could fall on Trump's birthday

The US Army said on Friday that a parade in Washington was planning with thousands of soldiers and military demonstrations that celebrate the 250th anniversary of its foundation on June 14, which is also President Trump's 79th birthday.

According to a declaration of the army, the parade should contain 150 vehicles, 50 aircraft and participation of 6,600 soldiers. Fireworks and a day -to -day festival are also planned, including equipment, musical services and a fitness competition in addition to the military demonstrations.

The army said that the celebration was in honor of its 250th birthday, but did not mention that the president's birthday was on the same day.

“In view of the considerable milestone of 250 years, the explanation says:” The army explores the opportunity to make the celebration even greater, with more skill demonstrations, additional equipment and more dealing with the community. “

The army's explanation on Friday did not show which events would take place on June 14th and which would happen in the run -up to the anniversary. The White House last month contested that a military parade was planned for Mr. Trump's birthday. However, the Associated Press reported on Thursday that it had checked military planning documents where the parade was planned for June 14.

When a spokeswoman for the army was asked about the clarification of the schedule, the planning replied and suggested that the festival would take place with military equipment on the 14th.
