Whose celebration is it? Who benefits?
🗓️ June 14, 2025 marks a historic convergence:
Trump’s 79th birthday, the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, and Flag Day all wrapped into one grand event.
At an estimated cost of $25 to $45 million, featuring:
• 6,600 soldiers
• 150 military vehicles
• 50 aircraft
• A full fireworks display
This parade has drawn both cheers and criticism.
🔥 Highlights:
• Designated a National Special Security Event complete with road closures and flying restrictions
• “No Kings” protests planned in over 1,500 U.S. cities some see the parade as authoritarian
• Veterans and analysts divided: “Military celebration” or “Strongman spectacle”?
🧭 The deeper question:
Passion is contagious but so is programming.
This spectacle reveals more than just military pride.
It shows what unity and patriotism look like when pushed to their edges.
Whether you see it as a tribute or a warning
It’s undeniably powerful.
Long live the Republic. 🇺🇸✨
🕊️ A Prayer for the People
May the light of truth rise higher than flags,
May the courage of the quiet outweigh the noise,
May the spirit of liberty be felt in every heart,
And may justice flow like a river across this land.
Guide us beyond pride and fear,
Into unity, clarity, and peace.
Let us remember who we are and why we stand.
Amen. 🇺🇸✨
