Fox News Digital spoke to attendees of the D.C. military parade, some who had traveled hundreds of miles to participate, about why they had come to the nation’s capital for the event.

The Rock Hall of Famer said the song is a "powerful piece of music that was never intended for political use."

President Donald Trump deemed his multimillion dollar military birthday parade a “tremendous success” Sunday, despite it being dwarfed by the thousands protesting against his presidency on the same day.

Some attendees exited the military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington D.C. early, according to reports.

MSNBC hosts Ali Velshi and Chris Hayes noted a difference in the atmosphere at the Army's 250th celebration in Washington, D.C., compared to President Trump's rallies.

Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm whose contracts with the federal government are expanding, and Coinbase, a cryptocurrency firm that donated to the president’s inauguration, also sponsored the event. Oracle, a database company whose co-founder is a close friend of Mr. Trump’s, received a shout-out on Saturday as a sponsor.
