Army Kansas City Battalion Commander

Establish on June 14th 1775 just a year before the Declaration of Independence we are now celebrating 249 years of the Army! This year we are celebrating how America’s Army has challenged, empowered and equipped our Soldiers, because “Be All You Can Be” is more than just a slogan, it's the Army way of life.

Today we want to take a moment to recognize the soldiers who were involved in D-Day or the invasion of Normandy during World War II. At that time it was one of the biggest naval, air, and land operation in history. Still til this day is looked at one of the pivotal days during the World War II.
