The U.S. Army's Birthday is 14 June 1775.
Two hundred and forty two years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our Nation. From the Revolutionary War to the current operations taking place around the world, our Soldiers remain Army Strong with a deep commitment to our core values and beliefs. This birthday commemorates America's Army - Soldiers,Families and Civilians - who are achieving a level of excellence that is truly Army Strong. Being Army Strong goes beyond physical endurance and mental preparedness. It encompasses an indomitable spirit, and high ethical and moral values. These are not only desirable traits in a person, but in a Nation that wishes to live up to the ideals and vision of its founders.
Presently, the Army celebrates it's Birthday with local events, balls, picnics and the Child Development Centers take part by having a guest such as their Installation's commander to read the story about the Army in a fun kid-friendly illustrated version.
