As Washington prepares for a military parade this weekend to honor the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, a new survey finds that U.S. adults are more likely to approve than disapprove of President Donald Trump's decision to hold the festivities,

Victory parades abounded after the 20th century’s world wars. But the last major military parade in Washington was in 1991.

Protests are planned in hundreds of communities across the country on Saturday, June 14.Called "No Kings Day," the rallies are being held to oppose what organizers see as Trump's power grab and focus on participants' patriotism and support for the U.S. Constitution. American flags are expected to be front and center.

The U.S. will hold a rare military display in Washington D.C. soon. The motives of countries that stage military parades vary, but the spectacles all tend to share a common visual vocabulary.

Washington military parade may be relegated to news coverage on the streaming arms of the major TV networks. The parade marks the founding of the U.S. Army during the American Revolutionary War 250 years ago.

Preparations are underway for the U.S. Army's parade in Washington D.C., which also falls on President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.
