Since 1636, when the Army Guard was born.

Since the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month of 1918 when it was first named Armistice Day.

Since 9/11, when our freedom was challenged and more than 3 million have served in uniform in defense of our nation.

To our fellow brothers and sisters - and to those who support them - who've kept our nation, our constitution, our way of life safe, and our flag flying freely, much love today, and indeed every day.

Thank you for supporting our Heroes Linked program and empowering our national veteran community.
