President Donald Trump plans to host a military parade on June 14, 2025, to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army and honor military veterans and active-duty service members. The parade, coinciding with Trump's birthday, will feature reenactments and equipment from various historical U.S. wars, including the Revolutionary War and the Global War on Terror. An executive order established 'Task Force 250' to coordinate the year-long celebration of America's 250th anniversary, culminating on July 4, 2026. The parade is part of a broader initiative to commemorate historical American events and ideals, supported by coordination from multiple federal agencies. This effort also includes the reinstatement of the National Garden of American Heroes and protections for American monuments and memorials, aiming to unite Americans around their shared history and future.

The military parade will include reenactors and equipment from significant U.S. conflicts such as the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World Wars, among others, showcasing the nation’s military history and evolution.

The White House has coordinated with the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Parks Service, among other agencies, to ensure the successful execution of this monumental event.

Task Force 250 was created by an executive order to oversee the planning of the 250th anniversary of American independence, with the parade being one of the initial events in the year-long celebration leading up to July 4, 2026.

The National Garden of American Heroes, a park commemorating 250 significant Americans, is being revived alongside protections for monuments, in response to the destruction of historical statues.

The celebration draws inspiration from the U.S. Bicentennial Celebration, aiming to promote a sense of national unity and renewal of founding ideals during a time of division.
