Today is the birthday of the United States Army - 1775. The Army was in the field for a full year before the Declaration of Independence.
The ethic of the Army as a service, its culture as an institution, is based on what it started in the Revolution and continues today. The Army is the nation's servant.
If there had been no Army, there would be no America. The Army's motto is "This We'll Defend".
