233rd Army Birthday

June 14, 2008

Today, 233 years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our great nation.  We have stood Army Strong and committed to our mission, our nation, and its people from the time of the Revolutionary War to the Global War on Terror.  This celebration stands to commemorate the Soldiers, Families and Civilians that have served with distinction and honor for the last 233 years.  Their willingness to sacrifice to build a better future for others and preserve our way of life is without a doubt, the Strength of our Nation.

The United States and the Army, in comparison to other nations, has only been established for a very short time.  However, much has been accomplished in such a short period.  In just 233 years the nation has become a world leader in economics, technology and politics.  Without the Army, none of these accomplishments would have been possible.

    Elizabeth,
    There are many ways to help service members around the world. You can volunteer time at or money at your local USO. There are many charitable organizations, such as America Supports You and the Wounded Warrior Project. My suggestion is to do a Google search for “troop support” or “care packages”. You will be able to find many organizations donating time, care packages to deployed troops and even organizations that send a simple letter to deployed service members. Sometimes just a kind word is all it takes.
