Thousands of soldiers wearing uniforms from the Revolutionary War era to the present, dozens of tanks, military flyovers, parachute jumpers and a special firework display will fill the streets and skies of Washington,

The parade is expected to include about 6,600 soldiers, 50 helicopters and 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks, as well as possibly 200,000 attendees and heightened security to match.

"It's really fun, and honestly nerve-wracking," said Jonas Chu, an armored vehicle driver who will appear in the Army's 250th anniversary parade.

President Trump is hosting a parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on Saturday, bringing tanks and soldiers to the streets of Washington, D.C., for the capital's first major military parade in more than three decades.

Anti-Trump protests are expected to spring up across the country the same day the president is hosting a military parade in Washington.
