First conceived by President Harry S. Truman, Armed Forces Day was established in 1949. The creation of a single day celebration for all five branches of the United States military made sense due to its recent unification under the Department of Defense. This year we added a sixth branch, the United States Space Force, and yesterday we celebrated the unveiling of the #SpaceForce flag. Let’s come together today and remember we are all in this together and we’re committed to our service of this great nation.
