Armed Forces Day - May 20 2023

[Marilynne]

First conceived by President Harry S. Truman, the holiday was established in 1949. The creation of a single day celebration for all five branches of the United States military made sense due to its recent unification under the Department of Defense. Today, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday of every May, this year falling on May 20. Be sure to support our military!

Reflecting on the historical roots of Armed Forces Day, it's impressive to think about President Harry S. Truman's vision in 1949. Unifying all five branches under the Department of Defense and establishing a day to honor their collective dedication was a significant step. As we approach this year's celebration on May 20, let's take a moment to express our gratitude and support for the men and women who serve in the U.S. military. Their commitment to protecting our nation deserves recognition and appreciation. Also, visit removed link.
