Fact check: When was the permit filed for the army’s 250th birthday parade in dc
1. Summary of the results
Based on the available analyses, the permit for the Army's 250th birthday parade in Washington, D.C. was filed on June 7, 2025 [1]. This information comes from official National Park Service documentation, specifically a "Record of Determination for the temporary restriction of access and public use limit in certain areas of The National Mall and Memorial Parks and National Capital Parks—East, for the 2025 Army 250th Birthday Parade and Festival," which was signed by Jen Nersesian, Regional Director of the National Capital Region [1].
The other sources analyzed focus on different aspects of the event - one provides details about the event schedule and guest entry procedures [2], while another covers ticket information for the June 14 parade [3]. However, neither of these sources contains information about the permit filing date.
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
The original question is straightforward and factual, seeking specific administrative information. However, the analyses reveal some additional context that wasn't requested:
- The event is officially titled the "Army 250th Birthday Parade and Festival" and involves temporary restrictions on public access to areas of The National Mall and Memorial Parks [1]
- The actual parade took place on June 14, 2025 [3], meaning the permit was filed approximately one week before the event
- The event required ticket acquisition for attendance, suggesting it was a controlled-access celebration rather than an open public gathering [3]
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original question contains no apparent misinformation or bias - it is a straightforward factual inquiry about administrative timing. The question accurately refers to it as the "army's 250th birthday parade" and correctly identifies the location as Washington, D.C. The only minor imprecision is the casual phrasing, as the official title appears to be the "Army 250th Birthday Parade and Festival" [1], but this does not constitute misinformation.
The question demonstrates appropriate specificity by asking for the permit filing date rather than making assumptions about the timeline or process involved in organizing such a significant military commemoration.
