President Trump Announces Historic Celebrations for 250th Anniversary
President Donald J. Trump has revealed exciting plans to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026, with events designed to honor the nation’s history and spirit. Includes are the 'Patriot Games,' a four-day athletic competition featuring top high school athletes—one young man and one young woman from each state and territory. This event aims to showcase the talent and dedication of America’s youth as part of the milestone celebration.
The 'Patriot Games' will take place in Washington, D.C., though specific details about the sports or exact venues have not yet been disclosed.
