Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day occurs every third Saturday of May. On August 31. 1949, Armed Forces Day was created by the Secretary of Defense, Louis Johnson. This was to replace Army, Navy, and Air Force Days. Armed Forces Day originally was a type of "educational program for civilians." This was to increase awareness of the Armed Forces and expand public understanding of what type of job is performed and the role of the military in civilian life. It was a day to showcase the equipment that are used to protect civilians to civilians. It is also a day of honor for the people serving in the Armed Forces. This day is for everyone who are currently serving and who have served in the reserves, National Guard, or on active duty.

Why is Armed Forces Day in May?

The month of May represents National Military Appreciation Month starting with Loyalty Day and concluding with Memorial Day.

Celebration

To celebrate this upcoming Armed Forces Day, according to President Truman, fellow citizens "display the flag of the United States at their homes on Armed Forces Day and participate in exercises expressive of our recognition of the skill, gallantry, and uncompromising devotion to duty characteristic of the Armed in the carrying out of their missions." Another way to celebrate is to volunteer with or donating to the USO. USO is a congressionally-chartered, nonprofit organization for serving active-duty military and their families.

This Armed Forces Day, celebrate these heroes and honor their sacrifices as they have been and will always work hard for this country.
