Patriots from across America flock to DC military parade on Trump’s birthday

Saturday’s military parade in Washington D.C. drew attendees from all over the country, with many coming to honor the Army’s 250th birthday. Fox News Digital spoke to several attendees to hear why they had traveled far and wide to be a part of the historic event.

One attendee from the Baltimore area expressed their sense of patriotism, noting that they were celebrating Flag Day, the Army’s anniversary, and President Trump’s birthday all at once. For them, it was a special opportunity to show their support for the country.

Others traveled from places like Northern Kentucky and Florida to pay their respects to the nation’s veterans and show their support for President Trump. They emphasized the importance of coming together to honor the military, especially under a president who they believe respects and values the armed forces.

Veterans were also well-represented at the parade, with many expressing gratitude for the opportunity to witness such a unique event. A 30-year Army veteran from Ann Arbor, Michigan, noted that they felt it could be their last chance to see a parade of this magnitude.

While there was a small anti-Trump presence outside the parade perimeter, inside the event, support for the president and the military was overwhelming. Some anti-Trump attendees did make it inside, expressing their concerns about what they perceived as a display of military power rather than a genuine celebration of the armed forces.

Overall, the parade was a momentous occasion for all who attended, regardless of their political beliefs. It was a time to come together to honor the Army, celebrate Flag Day, and recognize the sacrifices of those who serve our country. The event highlighted the deep sense of patriotism and appreciation for the military that unites Americans from all walks of life.
