On this day in 1775, the Second Continental Congress voted to "adopt" the colonial troops then beseiging Boston as the Army of the United Colonies, and also voted in George Washington as its Commanding General. He left immediately for Cambridge to form what would become the US Army after the Declaration of Independence was accepted.
Happy Birthday to all my fellow soldiers!!
Happy Birthday to an old friend of 11 years of good, great and terrible times. The U.S. Army made me what I am now and I will always appreciate the Army for that.
I’m from a proud Navy family, but God bless you anyway US Army.
I’ll second that.
Hooah! just shy of 2 years on my end. Planning on the full 20.
Happy B-Day USArmy!
Happy Brithday Army!
Happy Birthday ARMY!
I would not have amounted to much without the Army...no great retirement, no nice home and family, no education, no fantastic post-military career- most importantly, I would have missed the opportunity to serve with men of great honor...happy birthday, Army...
God Bless America’s “Senior Service”!
God Bless America. Land of the FREE Because of the BRAVE!
You damned rebels they technically Her Majesties troops !
Not really Tex, I was only joshing.
My Grandad’s brother Uncle Les served side by side with the Yanks while in the 8th Army in Sicily. He told me they took a pasting during the advance on Rome. Some of them he got talking to were only 17 or 18 years old from places like Kansas or North Dakota, then a couple of days later he would see them being buried, he didnt tell us any of this until at least 30 years later. You are one of those 17 year old lads, you risked spilling your blood to keep thw world safe.
All the best have a great July 4th.
Indeed. That opportunity will remain my most valuable possession until the day I die, and the one that nobody can ever take away.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WITH LOVE!!! 
Happy Birthday Army!
