Happy 250th Birthday to the US ArmY!!!

Since its official establishment, June 14, 1775 — more than a year before the Declaration of Independence — the U.S. Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of the American nation. Drawing on both long-standing militia traditions and recently introduced professional standards, it won the new republic's independence in an arduous eight-year struggle against Great Britain. At times, the Army provided the lone symbol of nationhood around which patriots rallied.

We celebrate the Army's accomplishments today with patriotism and gratitude for all the sacrifices Soldiers and their families have made!
