The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.

The president celebrates the 250th anniversary of the US Army as demonstrators hold "No Kings" events from coast to coast.

Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm whose contracts with the federal government are expanding, and Coinbase, a cryptocurrency firm that donated to the president’s inauguration, also sponsored the event. Oracle, a database company whose co-founder is a close friend of Mr. Trump’s, received a shout-out on Saturday as a sponsor.

More than 6,000 soldiers participated in the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade in Washington, D.C. — including the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets.
