Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Army!
Today, we honor the brave Soldiers who have stood strong since June 14, 1775—defending our nation with courage, commitment, and dedication. From the earliest days of our country to today’s modern missions, the Army continues to embody the values of loyalty, duty, respect, and honor.
To all who serve and have served - thank you for your sacrifice and unwavering strength.
