Flag Day and United States Army Birthday
Friends,
We have an opportunity to give thanks to God and celebrate June 14th as we honor the Stars and Stripes on Flag Day,and also honor the birthday of the United States Army.
God only knows of the sacrifice, pain, and love millions of soldiers and family members have devoted over the last 233 years in their quest to honor the principles that gird our flag and ensure the freedom America enjoys. Freedom is NOT free.
Get your flag out today, tomorrow, every day, even on the street, but first, enjoy the Army Song.
Please urge all to recognize our Army Warriors on this special occasion and pay tribute to all branches of America’s military services.
Folks, I’ll admit a bit of arrogant pride in the Army today, but don’t for a minute think my pride does not extend to every military service, without which America would not be the greatest and strongest military force ever.
May God continue to bless and protect all our warriors in harms way.
Harry Riley, COL, USA, Ret
