The Army traces its birth to 14 June 1775 when the Continental Congress called for the formation of ten companies of expert rifleman. George Washington was the Army’s first commander. The Army is the nation’s oldest and largest service and its flag has 183 campaign streamers.
The Army’s history is the nation’s history. Even a quick scan can cause one’s eyes to roll as well known names like Lexington, Gettysburg, Normandy, TET, Liberation of Afghanistan or Iraq merge with names like Chapultepec, Apaches, Peking, Ryukyus and theThird Korean Winter. When all the Army’s campaign streamers are attached, the Army flag weighs approximately 30 lbs or the weight of an M240 machinegun, a suitable metaphor for the 80% share of freedom’s bill paid in blood over our nation’s 237 years.
Happy B-day US Army and Happy Flag Day!
This we’ll defend.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARMY !!! sadly army you arent getting any presents to day 🙁
Happy B’day US Army from the Canadian Army. Have a beer brother
Yay for the Red White & Blue!
Twice as awesome as any other day except November 10th which is 10x more awesome than today.
Veteran’s day is Nov 11th.
I see what you did there
Just helping a brother with the date. Honest mistake. Bringing another branch’s B’day into the discussion would be tacky. Only the most rude, narcissistic and insecure talk about their B’day on someone else’s B’day card.
Great day to be sworn as an American citizen.
