Pulse On the Ground: 250 Years of American Military Pride

Pulse TV was on the ground in Washington, D.C., for a once-in-a-generation celebration: the 250th anniversary of the American military. From early morning crowds to late-night fireworks, this Pulse Exclusive takes you to the heart of the National Mall—where history, pride, and patriotism came to life.

We walked shoulder to shoulder with proud Americans: veterans, families, and active-duty soldiers who came not only to march—but to celebrate. We spoke with people in uniform, asked civilians what this day meant to them, and captured raw, emotional moments as the U.S. Army showcased 250 years of strength and sacrifice.

This wasn’t just a military parade—it was a story of legacy, unity, and the American spirit. And when the sky lit up with fireworks, chants of “U.S.A! U.S.A!” echoed across D.C., reminding us all of the power of service and pride in country.
