The U.S. Army plans to mark its 250th anniversary with a pomp-filled procession through the streets of the nation’s capital, a date coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

The parade, which will feature Army equipment, flyovers, musical performances and thousands of soldiers in uniforms from the past and the present, caps off a week of programming designed to celebrate the country’s military might. Trump attempted to hold a military parade in his first term to commemorate the centennial of World War I, but it was abandoned after pushback over cost and logistics from D.C. officials.
