Tanks and thousands of troops are on the streets of Washington, D.C., for the Army's 250th anniversary on President Donald Trump's birthday.

President Trump delivered remarks at the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army Grand Military Parade and Celebration, an event he envisioned.

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.

Thousands of demonstrators crowded into streets, parks, and plazas across the US, blaring anti-authoritarian chants mixed with support for protecting democracy and immigrant rights.

"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.
