Honoring Our Heroes: Celebrating Armed Forces Day on February 11

Every year on February 11, the United States observes Armed Forces Day, a dedicated occasion to honor the brave men and women of the U.S. military. This day stands as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by service members to protect the freedoms we hold dear.

Armed Forces Day was established in 1949 by President Harry S. Truman to unify the separate celebrations of Army, Navy, and Air Force Days. By bringing these observances together, the nation collectively honors all branches of the military—past, present, and future—recognizing their courage, dedication, and commitment to defending our country.

One of the core purposes of Armed Forces Day is to educate the public about the vital role the military plays in maintaining national security and global peace. It is a time to spotlight the contributions and sacrifices of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who work tirelessly to uphold American values and freedoms.
