Armed Forces Day 2015
May 15, 2015 by John Potter
President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.
On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days.
The single day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.
These warriors demonstrate incredible sacrifice, selfless service, and devotion each day. Take the opportunity to pray for a member of our Armed Forces and his or her family.
