The White House has confirmed that a military parade will be held to mark the 250 -year anniversary of the US Army on 14 June, who falls on the same day as President Donald Trump’s birthday.
A “day -long festival” will be held in the National Mall in Washington DC, said a spokesperson for the army, adding that the event would contain 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles and 50 planes.
Trump drove a military parade for the first time during his first term, but he tore the idea After reports it would have cost around $ 90 million (£ 71 million).
Earlier on Friday, Trump announced plans to rename Veterans Day – known as Remembrance Day in the UK – as “Victory Day for World War I” to celebrate American contributions to the conflict.
The army said that the planning for the military parade was “active”, and the “options to make the celebration even greater, with more capacity demonstrations, extra displays of equipment and more involvement in the community.” Trump will be 79 that day.
He introduced a military parade for Veterans Day in 2018 for the first time.
He said he wanted the US to have the Bastille Day parade of France “top”, whom he attended in 2017 during a visit to Paris.
Local politicians asked for a “ridiculously high” price, he said, and the idea was abandoned.
In the meantime, in addition to renaming Veterans Day, Trump has said that he wants to mention Ve Day on 8 May as “Victory Day before the Second World War”.
The announcement was not accompanied by an executive order and it is unclear whether he is planning to become a federal vacation on 8 May – a power that is based on the American congress.
The days mark the end of the First World War in 1918 and the surrender of Germany to the Allies in 1945, respectively.
In his late-night post, Trump said that “many of our allies and friends celebrate on 8 May as Victory Day, but we did by far more than any other country in producing a victory result” in the Second World War.
“We won both wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, courage or military sparkle, but we never celebrate anything,” he added. “That’s because we no longer have leaders, who know how to do that! So we’re going to celebrate our victories again!”
Later on Friday, Pers Secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt reported reports that the name of Veterans Day would change, write on X: “We will always honor Veterans Day and we have to commemorate the end of the Second World War and WWII as Victory Days!”
Ve Day parties that are held this year in the UK, France, Canada and other parts of the world, marked 80 years since the Second World War Formally ended in Europe with the unconditional surrender of Germany shortly after Berlin fell into Soviet troops.
Russia commemorates the opportunity as the end of what it calls the “Great Patriotic War”. It is one of the most important vacations in the country and is characterized by a huge parade.
About 27 million Soviet citizens died during the war, which started in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland next to the Soviets.
According to statistics published online by the US National WWII Museum in New Orleans, around 418,500 Americans were killed in both the European and Pacific theaters of the conflict. Of the total were around 416,000 military victims.
The US has not recognized the day historically. The country was still at war with Japan at the front of the Pacific after the conflict in Europe ended.
Veterans Day, known as Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom, was previously known as Armistice Day in the US to mark the end of the fighting in Europe on November 11, 1918.
After the Second World War and the Korean war it was renamed all American military veterans. Memorial Day, who always falls on the last Monday in May, honors Americans who were killed in battle.
