THANK YOU ALL WHO HAVE SERVED! I SALUTE YOU!!! XO
Armed
Forces Day is a day to pay tribute to the men and women who serve the United
States Armed Forces. Armed Forces Day, which is celebrated on the third
Saturday in May, is part of Armed Forces Week.
It
was with the idea for citizens to come together and thank our military members
for their patriotic service in support of our country that President Harry S.
Truman led the effort to establish this single holiday. The one-day celebration
then stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of
Defense. It was on August 31, 1949, that Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson
announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy,
Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard and Air Force Days.
Parades,
open houses, receptions and air shows were held to celebrate the first Armed
Forces Day held on May 20, 1950.
- 1962 – President John F. Kennedy established Armed Forces Day as an official holiday.
- The United States longest running city-sponsored Armed Forces Day Parade is held in Bremerton, Washington.
- 2012 – Bremerton celebrated the 64th year of the Armed Forces Day Parade.
