Rest easy brother. 🇺🇸❤️

🇺🇸 Happy 251st Birthday, United States Army! 🇺🇸

On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress established the United States Army, making it the oldest branch of our nation’s military.

For 251 years, Soldiers have answered the call to defend freedom, protect our nation, and serve with honor, courage, and selfless dedication. From the battlefields of the Revolutionary War to today’s missions around the globe, the Army’s legacy is built upon the sacrifices and commitment of generations of Americans.

Today, we honor all who have worn the Army uniform—past and present—and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

🎂 Happy Birthday, U.S. Army!

“This We’ll Defend.”

🇺🇸
