To the U.S. Army– 232 years old today!
“Since its birth on 14 June 1775—over a year before the Declaration of Independence—the United States Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of our Nation. Soldiers have fought more than 10 wars, from the American Revolution through the Cold War, the Gulf War, to the current War on Terrorism. This 232nd Birthday is a recognition of The Army’s history, traditions, and service to the Nation, a Call To Duty, 232 Years of Service to Our Nation.”
All of that, yes, but much more. More than can be written here, certainly.
So, to our man Charlie, to B5, to Joel, and to all our brethren in the Army, we say Happy Birthday!
Update: I emailed appropriate greetings to my BR Paul in Baghdad (Army LTC) and he replied– “Yeah buddy!! 232 years of ass kicking for the nation!! Many celebrations here on Camp Victory…”
On this special day, may I wish the Soldiers of the United States Army a “Happy Birthday” from Canada. There are no finer Soldiers in the world, and I am proud and honoured to wish the Army all of God’s Blessings today.
Veritas et Fidelis Semper
Happy Birthday to the US Army! It has without a doubt made a difference in the world.
My service was one of the defining times of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Best wishes to all of my Army pals!
Well said, Joel. While our bitch sessions about the Army are things of beauty, they are made out of love for the Army in which we serve.
God be with us all in the days to come and God Bless those who celebrate with us in spirit. May we all be here again to celebrate 233.
May I add my best wishes with yours……..much as I rib them, I love the Army guys too…………especially Charlie.
A day late, but…
Happy Birthday to Us!!!
