The 250th Birthday of the US Army Grand Military Parade kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Here's which roads will be closed in Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army reported Monday that initial assessments show no discernible damage to D.C. streets from Saturday's military parade celebrating the Army's 250th birthday, despite concerns about 70-ton tanks and heavy military vehicles rolling through the nation's capital.
Coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday, the parade will feature tanks, bands and thousands of troops in honor of the Army’s 250th anniversary celebration.
When all of that has been taken down, D.C.’s Department of Public Works (DPW) will clean up any remaining trash in that area, according to officials. Around 75 DPW workers began cleanup after the parade finished, according to officials. They cleared out trash in the areas that are no longer blocked off.
Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson has made public her distaste at what she says was the unauthorised usage of the Seattle band's 1977 hit single Barracuda during the military parade staged in Washington D.C. to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, on what just happened to be, by coincidence, Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
