The Hill is reporting on a planned military parade in Washington DC on June 14th. The headline reads: Trump planning military parade through DC for 79th birthday.
At no point in the entire story is there a source for the claim that the purpose for the parade has anything to do with the President’s birthday.
The original source of this item is the left leaning Washington Citypaper. They mention Trump’s birthday in passing, noting it after stating the parade is for the Army’s birthday.
I will say the entire story is very thinly sourced, neither source got an on-record statement from anyone involved.
The supposed route takes the parade from the Pentagon to the Whitehouse, some 4 miles.
Expect to see more 250th anniversary celebrations this year. The Army, Navy and Marine Corps were all founded in 1775. Also expect to see lots of leftist freak-outs over the Celebrations this year. They’ll freakout next year too for the Semiquincentennial*.
*This term, derived from Latin, means “half of five hundred” and is used to denote the 250th anniversary.
