President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.
On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days.
The single day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.
Our Deepest Thanks to Our Armed Forces!
May God Bless and Keep All.

Right now, somewhere in the USA, a little girl is going to bed without a goodnight kiss from her daddy.
Right now, somewhere in the USA, a wife is waking up without her husband in her arms.
Right now, somewhere in the USA, a mother and father are hoping their son will be back in time for his next birthday.
Right now, somewhere in the USA, a young man is hoping his fiancee will make it back so they can walk down the aisle.
Happy Armed Forces Day, and thank you and your families for all that you do.
