What is Army Birthday? |
|
The United States Army celebrates its birthday each year on June 14th. This is the date in 1775 when the Continental Army was established by the founding fathers. When the Constitution went into force in 1789, the Army became part of the executive branch of the United States Government. The Association of the United States Army (AUSA), local Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) offices and other organizations put together a broad variety of celebrations to mark the occasion. Picnics, parties, sporting and athletic events, car shows, concerts, and balls are popular ways for Army personnel, reservists, veterans, and their families to have fun on the Army's birthday.
