Protests are being planned across the country to deflect from the celebratory events to be held in Washington on Saturday marking the Army’s 250th birthday and Flag Day, which coincide with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

Flag Day 2025 is expected to be observed with a massive military parade in Washington, D.C. — and hundreds of "No Kings" protests nationwide. Saturday also marks the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Utah's Army-connected organizations will host an "Army birthday party" at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City.
