The Army’s 251-year legacy was built by ordinary Americans willing to do extraordinary things for their country.
To every Army veteran: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued leadership.
Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Army.
On this day in 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution declaring the creation and design of the U.S. flag. It proclaimed “that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."
May the flag forever wave over our nation, proudly protected by Veterans who have bravely fought for our freedom.
