Salute! It is the U.S. Army’s 249th birthday. Mayor John Whitmire and CM Davis presented a proclamation to honor the men and women who have defended our country. Established on June 14th, 1775, the Army has played a crucial role in the American nation’s growth and development. It has served as a symbol of nationhood, protecting freedom and liberty. Today, the soldiers and their families serve at home and around the world, inspiring Americans of all ages and backgrounds. #USArmy #USVeterans
