June 14, 2019 Andy Wolf 0
On June 14th the oldest branch of the U.S. Military turns 244, sparking rather subdued celebrations around the globe.

Founded in June of 1775, the Army was born from strife and rebellion, as the people of the American colonies pushed to become independent from Great Britain.
