By all accounts, this Saturday’s military parade in Washington, D.C., should be a unifying celebration, a showcase of American strength, freedom and gratitude for our military. Instead, the event has been hijacked by far-left agitators who have vowed to protest simply because President Donald Trump is at the helm.
The parade is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 14, marking both Flag Day and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, a fitting celebration of America’s enduring strength. The route will follow Constitution Avenue from near the Lincoln Memorial to the Ellipse, just south of the White House.

Attendees can expect a powerful display of American military hardware, including tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles and dozens of helicopters in a dramatic flyover. Soldiers will also be present on the National Mall throughout the day for public interaction and special demonstrations, offering a rare up-close look at the men and women who defend our nation.
Let’s be honest: this is not about tanks or cost. It’s not even about the military. It’s about a growing, vocal faction of radical activists who have declared war on anything and everything Trump does—regardless of whether it benefits the country.
/**/Groups like Indivisible and Women’s March, which openly support Marxist schemes, are organizing nationwide protests under banners like “No Kings” and “Kick Out the Clowns.” Their goal, by their own admission, is to “deprive Trump” of the honor due to him as Commander-in-Chief and to oppose him at every turn.
President Trump is doing what great presidents do, honoring America’s military might and inspiring patriotism. “We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world… And we’re going to celebrate it,” Trump told NBC News. He’s right. This isn’t about ego; it’s about pride in a nation that has sacrificed much to protect freedom.
Military leaders agree. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll said the parade is a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fill up our recruiting pipeline with young Americans.” And as defense expert Kori Schake pointed out, “Exposing more Americans to our Army… is good for the country.”
What are the agitators offering in response? Division, disruption and disdain for the very freedom that allows them to protest. These are not “pro-democracy” events, they’re pro-chaos demonstrations fueled by a hatred for Trump that overrides reason.

While leftist organizers seek to hijack Flag Day and the Army’s 250th anniversary, President Trump remains focused on one thing: America. “We’re going to celebrate our country for a change,” he said from the Oval Office. And that’s exactly what we should do.
Because if there’s one thing these protests prove, it’s that the fight isn’t about policy, it’s about preserving a nation worth defending. And that fight is one Trump is still willing to lead.
