Not everyone is excited about Trump’s visit — a protest is planned Saturday at Cross Creek Linear Park in Fayetteville, N.C.

The Army’s milestone anniversary will be celebrated nationwide with major events planned, including a grand parade on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on June 14, the Army’s official birthday, and coincidentally, Trump’s birthday as well.

Tanks and aircraft will travel to DC for the parade, along with 6,600 soldiers. Hundreds of them will be coming from Fort Bragg, with officials saying that they’re excited to be part of the big day.
