Happy Armed Forces Day, 2024! Celebrated on the third Saturday in May, Armed Forces Day honors the devotion and sacrifices of all people who are currently serving in the United States military. This holiday originated from the consolidation of the Armed Forces under a singular Department of Defense in 1949, replacing separate Army, Navy, and Air Force Days. To honor all those who serve, here is a rendition of the StarSpangled Banner performed by the United States Air Force Band's Singing Sergeants. Tag a service member in your life in the comments!
