Dear John,
On behalf of Concerned Veterans for America, please join me in wishing the US
Army a Happy Birthday!
For 250 years the Army has fought to secure liberty and prosperity for our
nation. On June 14, 1775, just two months after the Battles of Lexington and
Concord, the Continental Congress authorized the formation of the Continental
Army combining disparate colonial militias into a single more effective force.
The next day George Washington was appointed Commander in Chief.
This makes the US Army oldest of America’s six military branches. Next year in
2026, on Independence Day, we will mark America’s 250th Birthday and the
signing of the Declaration of Independence. This year CVA will be honoring the
three original military services that made it possible.
Since 1775, the US Army has secured the freedom of Americans. Our Army
withstood the pressure of the British military, the greatest power of the 18th
century, for six years, winning key battles at Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown.
It defended our nation again from British incursions during the war of 1812.
The US Army was key in the defeat of European Fascism and Japanese Militarism
during WWII. The Army saw desperate fighting from the deserts of North Africa
to Normandy and The Bulge, and in Pacific Theater hellscapes like Guadalcanal,
the Philippines and Okinawa.
The Army helped contain the Soviet-led global communist movement during the
cold war, from horrific battles in Korea to a long-term presence in Europe. And
today our Army stands ready to defend America’s security and our freedom.
This year the US Army is highlighting the sacrifices of ten generations of
American soldiers, from the men of Valley Forge to the boys of Pointe du Hoc,
and to this day, the men and women of the Army have always been willing to give
their last full measure for America. I know, I lost close comrades on combat
missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As an Army veteran, I served my country proudly. I served and at times fought
for Freedom and Prosperity here at home. Today at Concerned Veterans for
America, I am able to continue my service by advancing policies that preserve
the liberty and the prosperity that a long line of American soldiers fought and
sacrificed for.
Happy 250th Birthday Army!
