Armed Forces Day

Carolina925 · ‎03-09-2010

The U.S. will celebrate Armed Forces Day 2024 on 18 May. This holiday pays tribute to the men and women who serve in all six branches of our military and acknowledges their dedication, sacrifices, and the pivotal role they play in safeguarding our nation's interests, security and ideals. These military personnel come from all backgrounds, serving together as one, and united by a common mission to defend and protect. And this diversity strengthens the armed forces, reflecting the rich tapestry of the nation they defend. Celebrating them on Armed Forces Day underscores their strategic significance and fosters a collective appreciation for their contributions to national defense and global stability.

Sincere thanks to all who served.

Friend in North Carolina's son is in Gaza, I'm a mission to build a pier for food shipments. He's set to come home. Praise God security is tight.

Praise God for protecting our military.

What a shame that remembering the Armed Forces is a one day thing instead of a full month like some of the other month long in your face "celebrations".

Bring awareness to our men and women in uniform. Now, THAT IS important.

Fear not Brothers and Sisters! I have read THE BOOK..........we win!!!

YES, I could not agree more!

My son has been deployed 5 times. He's still active but has several injuries that limit some of what he can do. Luckily, he's high enough up the ladder to have a position that doesn't require all of the hard core stuff anymore.

My son lost a number of friends, including his best friend, during deployments. Memorial Day is a tough one for him.

I have a Grandson and his wife who are in the Air Force, willing to give their lives for us. As people who see the true value let's live to honor that
