The Army is the oldest of the four services. It was created on June 14, 1775, so it’s four months older than the United States Navy, five months older than the United States Marine Corps, and 172 years older than the United States Air Force, which began as part of the Army.

One response to “Happy 242nd Birthday to the U.S. Army!”
Thank you for sharing. It’s a funny coincidence that the President shares his birthday with the US Army! Who knew!
