As Washington, D.C., cleans up from the weekend’s culmination of World Pride, the capital city’s focus now shifts straight into a very different mass event — the June 14 military parade to honor the 250th birthday of the army and the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump. Army officials have estimated around 200,000 attendees for the evening military parade. More than 18 miles of security fencing will be erected and 175 magnetometers will be deployed at security checkpoints for the birthday festivities and the nearby parade route.
