JD Vance's wedding anniversary takes backseat to Trump birthday and military parade
JD Vance mentioned that it was his wedding anniversary at the end of his speech during Donald Trump 's military parade that coincided with the president's 79th birthday on Saturday, 15 June.
The vice president spoke after the procession dedicated to celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C, a rare display of the strength of the military on full view with tanks, aircrafts, and soldiers walking through the nation's capital for all to see.
At the same time, protesters around the country gathered in major cities to oppose Trump's controversial use of his executive power.
Addressing Second Lady Usha Vance, Mr Vance said: ' I would get in trouble if I didn't mention that it's also my wedding anniversary.'

Speaking ahead of the G7 summit in Canada, the Prime Minister said he did not have 'any doubt' that the agreement would progress (Suzanne Plunkett/PA) The trilateral Aukus partnership, believed to be aimed at countering China, involves building a new fleet of nuclear-powered attack submarines and co-operating in other areas of defence. Australia would also get its first subs from the US under the deal. Asked what his message to the US president would be on the importance of the pact, Sir Keir, who is due to meet Mr Trump in Kananaskis next week, said: 'Aukus is really important. We're fully committed to it.' Sir Keir added it was 'not unusual for an incoming government to do a review of a project like that', and that Labour had done similar. 'We, of course, looked into the issue when we came into government.. But I'm 100% committed to it. I'm really clear about that.' Asked if he was confident Mr Trump would back it, he said: 'Yeah, I think so. It's a really important project. So I don't have any doubt that this will progress.' Confirming the review on Thursday, the White House said it wanted to make sure the pact was 'aligned with the president's America First agenda.'
