Today, we celebrate an incredible milestone, the 250th birthday of the United States Army. For two and a half centuries, the Army has stood as a symbol of strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication to protecting our nation and upholding freedom around the world.
From the early days of the Continental Army in 1775 to today’s modern, mission-ready force, the U.S. Army has been at the forefront of defending the values we hold dear. This moment is more than a celebration of military history, it’s a tribute to the brave men and women who have worn the uniform with honor and purpose.
This Year Feels Especially Personal
This birthday feels especially meaningful to me, as our own son Ethan is now proudly wearing the Army uniform. His journey has been shaped by the support of friends like CJ and Phil, and powered by his own patience, grit, and quiet determination to get it done. Watching him step into this legacy of service has brought this milestone closer to home in a deeply personal way.
The Army’s 250th birthday is not just a celebration of the past, it’s a recognition of every soldier and family who has contributed to its enduring legacy. As a military family, we know the sacrifices and the pride that come with service, and we’re so grateful to stand among so many who understand it too.
To the Army: Thank You
Thank you for 250 years of commitment, courage, and calling. Here’s to the generations who have served and to those, like Ethan, who carry the torch forward with honor. We’re proud beyond words.
