Happy 250th Birthday!
By the action of the Continental Congress, the U.S. Army was founded on June 14, 1775.
To share some historical information, the U.S. Army Infantry was and is the oldest of all the combat Arms Branches, not only in the U.S. Army but going back through history. As most history buffs will recall, the Ancient Greeks were the first to create the Infantry by introducing a tactic that was called “The Greek Phalanx” (i.e., flexible battle formation). Until the Romans improved on it, this tactic was dominant for centuries. Needless to say, both the Infantry and the U.S. Army have come a long way since the Greek & Roman Days. Today’s modern Infantry can move by land, by sea and by air.
Happy Birthday US Army & Flag Day
Since my focus is on celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, I thought it would be nice to give some historical perspective. Now I will share the Mission of the US Army:
- Preserving the peace and security and providing for the defense of the United States, the Commonwealths and possessions, and any areas occupied by the United States.
- Supporting the national policies.
- Implementing the national objectives; and
- Overcoming any nations responsible for aggressive acts that imperil the peace and security of the United States
The short version is: “To Fight and Win the Nation’s Wars”. Clearly this has been accomplished well over the centuries and still holds true today.
Let me just share a quote from former President Ronald Reagan:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”
So, with all that said, I again say “Happy 250th Birthday U.S. Army”.
Love promotion ceremonies
On a personal note, I had the privilege of being a member of this great Army of ours as an Airborne Ranger Infantry Captain, so this day is extra special for me. I’m also proudly flying the American flag, not only to commemorate this special birthday, but also to recognize Flag Day 2025. The U.S. Flag was adopted on June 14, 1777, also by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.
And this, my friends, concludes today’s history lesson!
