On 14 June, the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army's formation coincides with the 79th birthday of president Donald Trump, and is celebrated exceptionally loudly this year. Critics of the defilade say the anniversary is politically abused and announce protests. Supporters answer that this is an chance to honour and thank US troops for their service. They besides stress that this is only an introduction to the beginning celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the United States, to be held throughout 2026.
