U.S. Army veterans are pushing back against narratives referring to the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary celebration on Saturday as “Trump’s Military Parade,” propaganda or an example of a dictatorship.
“As a Vietnam Veteran and retired Army soldier, I’m absolutely disgusted that the mainstream media are referring to the celebration as Trump’s military parade. They are so into TDS [Trump derangement syndrome] that they would give short shrift to the birthday of the U.S. Army,” retired FAA special agent Brian Sullivan told The Center Square. Sullivan has long warned about national security threats and sounded the alarm about security lapses at Logan Airport ahead of 9/11.
One year before the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress established the Continental Army on June 14, 1775, to fight the British during the American Revolutionary War. After the American Revolution was won, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution on June 14, 1777, declaring it Flag Day to celebrate the new U.S. flag.
It officially designated the American flag to have 13 stripes, alternating red and white with a blue field of 13 stars representing the 13 colonies that became united states.
