Flag Day, which normally passes with little fanfare each June 14, is getting more attention this year—from President Donald Trump, the U.S. Army, and anti-Trump demonstrators.

The Trump administration has planned a grand celebration for the Army’s 250th anniversary, with a large-scale military parade and other events scheduled in the nation’s capital. The June 14 date coincides with the president’s 79th birthday.
