Membership,
Two hundred forty-three years ago, our nation's leaders established the Continental Army. Today, the Army is the strategic land power of the joint force; called upon to prevent, shape and win against adversaries. Thursday 14th June 2018 marks the United States Army's 243rd birthday, a day we celebrate the Total Army Force comprised of multi-component soldiers and Department of the Army civilians and their contributions to national defense.
In addition, Thursday is also Flag Day, a time when Americans reflect on the foundations of the nation's freedom. The flag of the United Sates represents freedom and has been an enduring symbol of the country's ideals since its early days. It is a time to remember our loyalty to the nation, reaffirm our belief in liberty and justice and observe the nation's unity.
In honor of the aforementioned, please wear your Airport Fire Department military tshirt this Thursday 14th June. Also of note, the POW/MIA flag is to be flown on this day. C-Shift will be on-duty. Thank you.
The next day our Airport Fire Department military tshirt can be worn is Wednesday 4th July 2018 in honor of Independence Day. C-Shift will be on duty.
