I only glimpsed it on the news channels on the TVs at the gym yesterday. It's interesting that it was originally hyped as a birthday parade for him, but all the clips on the news were labeling it as a parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army. I guess the birthday parade shit didn't poll well with anybody.

Also pretty hilarious that nobody really celebrates the 250th anniversary of anything.

To be fair, most things dont make it to 250 years. I'm sure July 4th next year will be pretty poppin, though.

Usually you celebrate the xxxth birthday of someone/-thing even when they're dead. Last year for example was the 300th birthday of Casper David Friedrich, a painter. This year my city is celeberating it's 750th birthday and I believe the university will soon celebrate its 600th birthday
