In honor of Armed Forces Day, we have unfurled an America’s 250th anniversary flag at the Pentagon.
We will always honor our warriors’ strength, sacrifice, and devotion to defending freedom.
Over 4,500 warriors from the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group—serving aboard the USS Ford, USS Bainbridge, and USS Mahan—have completed a 326-day historic deployment marked by extraordinary endurance and service, including the birth of 76 children during the deployment.
Today, we proudly welcome our American heroes home.
