ALT Did you know the United States Army was born on a brilliant top-secret mission to protect American freedom?\n\nOn June 14, 1775, under tremendous pressure from the British crown, the Second Continental Congress boldly established the Continental Army. To protect their strategic plans and the young colonies, the delegates conducted their vital debates behind closed doors. They kept their military tactics in complete secrecy during a secured legislative session.\n\nFor decades the full extent of this strategic foresight remained a closely guarded secret. In 1821, the government succeeded in releasing the \u201CSecret Journals of Congress\u201D and unveiled the fabled hidden manuscripts explaining how our nation\u2019s founders safely coordinated foreign aid, rallied local militias, and laid the groundwork for the world\u2019s most powerful army. #DriveChangeForgeVictory\n

ALT Fun Fact Friday!\n\nBefore modern radios became reliable, the U.S. Army Signal Corps used carrier pigeons to deliver battlefield messages.\n\nDuring World War I, some pigeons flew through gunfire and gas attacks to carry critical information between units. One famous pigeon, \u201CCher Ami,\u201D helped save nearly 200 Soldiers after delivering a message despite being severely injured in flight. #DriveChangeForgeVictory

ALT Did you know, the red poppy became a symbol of remembrance after WWI? It is traditionally worn on the Friday before Memorial Day to honor fallen service members. The movement was inspired in part by Moina Michael, an American teacher and volunteer who campaigned to make the poppy a national symbol of remembrance after reading the poem \u201CIn Flanders Fields.\u201D #FactFriday #DriveChangeForgeVictory

ALT Did you know that the black beret worn by the U.S. Army today was originally worn \"off the books\" by tank crews?\n\nDuring the 1960s and 1970s, American armor and armored cavalry units unofficially adopted the black beret to mimic the historic British Royal Tank Regiment. The choice was highly practical because the soft wool didn't knock against structural frames or block narrow gun sights inside cramped vehicles, and the black color easily hid oil and grease stains. Local commanders tolerated the look to boost post-Vietnam troop morale, leading to a unique era where tankers customized their berets with colorful unit flashes and distinctive metal cavalry crests.\n\nAlthough the Army cracked down on these unauthorized branch berets in 1978, the tradition paved the way for the beret to eventually become an official part of modern military uniform history.\n\n#FunFactFriday #DriveChange\n
