    Fort Riley soldiers were among those participating in Saturday’s parade in Washington, D.C., marking the 250th anniversary of the Army.

    More than 450 soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division, based in Kansas, marched in the parade. They dressed in Gulf War-era uniforms to represent that part of the Army’s history.

    The nearly 90-minute parade cycled through the Army’s history, beginning with soldiers marching in Revolutionary War uniforms and ending with symbols of the Army’s future, including small robots carrying the U.S. Army flag and new West Point cadets about to be sworn in.
