🇺🇸 Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Army! 🇺🇸

For 251 years, the United States Army has stood as a steadfast guardian of our Nation, answering the call in times of war and peace, defending freedom, and protecting the ideals upon which America was built.

Today, we honor the generations of Soldiers who have worn the Army uniform with courage, selfless service, and unwavering dedication. We are especially proud to recognize the countless women who have served in and alongside the US Army for 251 years, many long before their service was officially recognized, and who continue to serve, lead, and inspire today.

As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we remember that before there was a Nation, women and men were already answering the call to defend the promise of liberty.

To all Army Soldiers and Veterans, thank you for your service.

🎂 Happy 251st Birthday, US Army!
🪖 This We'll Defend.
