Dozens of M1 Abrams tanks, M2 Bradley vehicles and Sherman tanks are slowly making their way down the parade route. Many of the military vehicles, including the tanks, traveled from Texas by train and arrived in Washington,

Thousands have gathered today near the Washington Monument, ostensibly for the Army’s 250th anniversary military parade, but the most enthusiastic had clearly shown up for another occasion: Trump’s 79th birthday.

"It's really fun, and honestly nerve-wracking," said Jonas Chu, an armored vehicle driver who will appear in the Army's 250th anniversary parade.

Thousands of soldiers wearing uniforms from the Revolutionary War era to the present, dozens of tanks, military flyovers, parachute jumpers and a special firework display will fill the streets and skies of Washington,

Hundreds boarded the 10:25 a.m. ferry from Bainbridge Island to Seattle on Saturday morning to demonstrate — one of many "No Kings" protests held Saturday.

The Army is bringing 28 Abrams tanks to Saturday's parade, each valued at approximately $5 million. Accompanying them will be 28 Bradley fighting vehicles worth $4.5 million each, 28 Stryker infantry carriers and six M109 A7 Paladin self-propelled howitzers.

The Army deleted a video from its social media that showed a tank en route to the June 14 parade on a train car spray-painted with the death threat.

Preparations are underway for a military parade Saturday in Washington, D.C., celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary that is projected to cost $45 million and possibly higher because of possible road damage.
