Guests need to pre-register online.
“Americans will gather at Fort Bragg — home to the most elite military in the world — to celebrate the unmatched strength, sacrifice, and accomplishments of the men and women who defend our nation,” the news release says. “This special event will honor the courageous warriors ready to defend liberty at a moment’s notice and recognize their enduring commitment to America’s security and values.”
Trump will speak at 4 p.m. at Pike Field at 2427-2451 Pratt St., the news release says. People may start arriving as early as 10 a.m. Guests must have a valid government-issued ID.
“The event will feature a celebration honoring past and present service members, live demonstrations showcasing the operational capabilities of today’s military, and patriotic musical performances accompanied by remarks from senior military leaders,” the release says.

“The event will serve as an important lead-up to the grand parade celebrating the Army’s 250th birthday, a milestone that highlights over two centuries of dedicated service to the nation,” the release says. The parade is scheduled for Saturday in Washington. Fort Bragg personnel are taking part.
