    Happy birthday Army and thanks to all those that served especially to those that gave their all.

    The U.S. Army was founded on 14 June 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of (expert) riflemen to serve the United Colonies," for one year.
    The 14 June date is when Congress adopted "the American Continental Army" after reaching a consensus position in The Committee of the Whole. This procedure and the desire for secrecy account for the sparseness of the official journal entries for the day. The record indicates only that Congress undertook to raise ten companies of riflemen, approved an enlistment form for them, and appointed a committee (including Washington and Schuyler) to draft rules and regulations for the government of the army.

    Happy Birthday US ARMY !! (from a US Army vet)
