In the United States, the last Saturday in April is celebrated as Armed Forces Day. However, in many other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, Armed Forces Day is observed on March 27 every year.

This date was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the first act of combat in the American Revolutionary War, which took place on March 27, 1776.
