The president is scheduled to give remarks at the event, which also coincides with his 79^th birthday.

The parade began with the Golden Knights parachute team jumping into the crowd. However, some of the flyovers planned for the military parade have been cancelled due to weather, according to a U.S. Secret Service (USSS) official.

Washington Reagan National Airport in D.C. has shut down all departures and arrivals for several hours amid the parade.
