The Army expects as many as 200,000 people to attend the parade that honors the U.S. Army’s formation and coincides with Donald Trump’s birthday.

The event will bring street closures, security checkpoints, hundreds of military vehicles and thousands of marching troops.

The Army will celebrate its 250th anniversary with a parade on Saturday, which happens to be President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

The Army plans an elaborate display of armor, artillery and aircraft for its 250th anniversary parade June 14.

A 25-year-old former Fox & Friends producer has been tasked with overseeing President Donald Trump’s lavish military parade and putting on an even bigger bash next year: America’s 250th birthday.

Until recently, the Army’s long-planned birthday celebration did not include a big parade. Added under the Trump administration, the event, featuring hundreds of military vehicles and aircraft and thousands of soldiers, has divided veterans.

King Charles III and other members of the royal family will wear black armbands and there will be a moment of silence during his annual birthday parade Saturday as the monarch commemorates those who died in this week’s Air India plane crash.

Just four months ago, the Fox News host Steve Doocy gave a social-media send-off to his young producer Ariel Abergel, who had announced that he was leaving the network. Alongside a montage of the two traveling through Iowa, Doocy reminisced about their three years together and affectionately razzed Abergel as “Ari the driver.”
