2:54:46Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump’s military parade to mark the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday on Saturday will bring thousands of soldiers and dozens of massive military vehicles and aircraft to the National Mall.
Military parades of this scale are uncommon in the U.S. The last was in 1991, to mark the end of the first Gulf War.
Trump has heralded the celebration as a chance to celebrate the country and the "service and sacrifice" of soldiers. The president has also gotten political blowback over the parade, which will shut down roads and bridges around the city for days. Democrats have criticized the cost — up to $45 million — and accused Trump of making the day about himself. Veterans are divided over the event and a majority of Americans don't feel like it's a good use of money, according to an AP-NORC poll.
