Victory Parade after the first Gulf War celebrated a lopsided victory against an enemy army in the largest U.S. military operation since Vietnam.

The parade was the spectacle event Trump had long wanted. It also helped sparked the largest mass opposition to him since his inauguration 145 days earlier.

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.

Despite the parade, overall travel demand to Washington D.C. remains steady this weekend. Here's what travelers should know.

The day marks the end of slavery in the US, two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and informed enslaved African Americans that they were free.

Donald Trump threw a military parade in honor of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 14 (a date that happens to be the president’s birthday) to the tune of $25 to $45 million. But unfortunately for Trump, photos and videos from the big day show sparse attendance and a lack of organization from top to bottom.
