Military parade celebrates Army’s 250th with tanks, troops and aircraft gracing nation’s capital

Cheers and chants rang out Saturday from a crowd of thousands as soldiers manned modern and historic tanks and aircraft for the Army’s 250th anniversary celebration in the District. 

Gunners positioned atop Bradley Fighting Vehicles shouted “U-S-A, U-S-A” while the Army Golden Knights parachuted onto the Ellipse during the military parade along Constitution Avenue Northwest that brought veterans, active-duty soldiers and everyday Americans to the nation’s capital. 

President Trump looked on from the main stage, sitting just south of the White House in an event featuring 50 helicopters, 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks and more than 6,000 soldiers, with some dressed in historical garb. The Army’s anniversary celebration coincided with Mr. Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day. 

“Every other country celebrates their victories. It’s about time America did too. It’s what we’re doing tonight,” the president said. 

The rain largely held off for the densely packed National Mall, which was lined with “anti-scale” fencing and saw hundreds of law enforcement personnel patrolling the grounds. 

Good weather gave families and fanatics a chance to inspect the Army’s weaponry up close during a festival that took place before the parade.

“It’s been great to interact with the public, it’s been nothing but great support,” Lt. Dean Kleinfelder, a platoon leader for a Howitzer crew stationed in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, told The Washington Times. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate the 250th birthday of the Army.” 

Lt. Kleinfelder spent a chunk of time teaching a young boy about the ins and outs of the massive artillery gun — educating the child about how it aims the cannon, how many rounds it can fire a minute and how one man is required to hoist the 100-pound shell into the chamber for each deafening shot.
