Since its birth on 14 June 1775 -over a year before the Declaration of Independence- the United States Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of our nation. Soldiers have fought more than 10 wars, from the American Revolution through the Cold War, the Gulf War, to the current Global War on Terrorism. This 231st Birthday is a recognition of The Army’s history, traditions, and service to the Nation.
To all you dog-faces out there, both past and present; Thank You, and Happy Birthday!
*Thanks to my buddy Pero for the reminder.
