Honor the Army on its birthday - thank those who serve and have served for their commitment to protecting our freedom!
Celebrate the Army Birthday on June 14th by honoring those who have served and are currently serving in the U.S. Army! This special day, which has been celebrated since 1920, commemorates the establishment of the Continental Army on June 14, 1775. The U.S. Army is an integral part of our country's military and has defended our nation for over two centuries with courage, strength, and resilience. Today is a great day to show your appreciation for all that they do and to thank them for their service!
