ARMED FORCES DAY is May 17, 2008.

This is a nation-wide celebration to honor the US military men and women who have served or are now serving our country. President Harry Truman led the way to establish a holiday honoring the military to commemorate the unification of the brances of the armed forces under the Department of Defense. In 1949, Secretary of Defense, Louis Johnson, announced the creation of Armed Forces Day.

Way to give the men and women a shout out! Susan

Susan:

Thank you! I appreciate yours being the first comment!

Hi Jan,
I'm #2 do you appreciate me too? :0) I love to see our military celebrated and honored.

Cynthia:

I ALWAYS appreciate you! I'm on the way to see what you've written in the Rain tonight! Thanks for reading and commenting, and for supporting the military!

Jan, enjoy the celebration day. What an awesome video to embed in your post. Very patriotic. We owe so much to those who serve.

Jan E: Thanks for giving our troops the support they deserve! Love the "Armed Forces Salute".

Gary:

Thank you for your positive comment. I agree with you! We can never repay the ones who stand in the gap for us while we sleep in safety.

Jan W: I'm glad you like the video. I've sung that same anthem many times in church and civic programs honoring our military. I still feel the emotion when I see people stand up when their branch of service is recognized.

What a great video! I will be marking the broadcast on my calendar! I love to hear all these songs! We have one of the largest Armed Forces Day parades here - I guess I better get a blog out!

Hi, Jo:

Photobucket has several photos under "armed forces" and there were about 20 YouTube videos of this same Salute to the Armed Forces song. Maybe you will find something to go with your post, too. I will be looking forward to reading your post. You are such a great supporter for our military families.

Jan - This is a wonderful tribute post to the folks that are serving or have served this great country. If that video doesn't stir some emotions, you're probably dead. Nice job!
