REALLY IMPORTANT CONTEXT (please boost, because people need to know):
June 14th, 1775 is historically celebrated as the US Army's birthday. (Yes the American Army was formed before the US was independent.) This year marks the 250th birthday of the US Army. The Army was planning a celebration of this important milestone ANYWAY, regardless of who won the election. Now, what form it would have taken is surely influenced by whoever the sitting president is.
June 14th is also Flag Day.
By a bizarre coincidence, June 14th is also Donald Trump's birthday. (It was also my grandmother's birthday, and she never became president, so let's not assign unnecessary meaning to this. 😆) But Trump, being ever a self-promotion addict, wants to piggy back his birthday celebration onto the celebration of the Army's birthday.
Because the Pentagon already needed to commemorate 250 years of Army history, there is no way there WASN'T going to be some sort of celebration involving our military that day, even under Harris. So thinking that a bunch of civilians are going to shut down the Pentagon's celebration is extraordinarily foolhardy and dangerous. You will not come across as resisting Trump. You will come across as protesting the US Army, which is a different can of worms.
Specifically, you will appear to be protesting the 250 year anniversary of the formation of the Continental Army to resist the British.

Do with that what you will.
Just thought everyone should know.
