NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Several protests are shaping up in Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky on Saturday, the same day as President Donald's Trump birthday and his military parade commemorating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary.
The No Kings movement is in several locations across the NewsChannel 5 viewing area.
They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far," the No Kings website said. "No thrones. No crowns. No kings."
Over 6,000 soldiers, 150 army vehicles, including tanks, as well as 50 military aircraft, are expected, according to Scripps News.
The parade will be the first time since the early 1990s that a military style parade like this will take place in Washington. President George H.W. Bush hosted one at the conclusion of the Gulf War.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
