Claim via Social Media
Social media posts claim the Biden administration approved a permit in June 2024 for a “grand parade” celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.
Explanation
The parade permit application for the large-scale event was not filed during the Biden administration. The National Park Service confirmed the application for the grand parade was submitted in March 2025, after President Donald Trump took office.
A smaller permit application for an Army birthday celebration, excluding a parade, was submitted in June 2024 under the Biden administration. That earlier event was a routine, modest observance and bore no resemblance to the military parade held on June 14, 2025.
This false narrative attempts to attribute planning for the large-scale, Trump-era military celebration to the previous administration without evidence.
Conclusion
Fact or Fiction? Fiction. The Biden administration approved a small Army celebration, not a grand parade. The actual parade permit was filed during Trump’s presidency.
