[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm French, living in the DC area. We've had a military parade for our Fête Nationale on July 14th ever since the end of WWI, so I'm certainly not against such a display. However, it doesn't look good to hold one of the very rare military parades the US has ever had, on the President's birthday! Not good optics at all.[/quote]

It's also the 250th anniversary of the US Army. [/quote]

... and if it hadn't been The birthday, no one would have thought of a parade on that day.[/quote]
+1 When is the parade for the Marines, who are also celebrating their 250th this year?[/quote]

You are incorrect. [/quote]

No, they are not. Both Marines and Navy have their 250th this year. No plans thus far for a similar style parade

The Continental Marines were disbanded in 1783. The current US Marines were created in 1798. You want that hold a parade for a branch that hasn't existed for 250 years?[/quote]

You might want to let the US Marine Corps know, because they are, indeed, celebrating a 250th birthday this year.[/quote]
