Happy 249th Birthday to the United States Army, born as the Continental Army on this date in 1775.

"...the oldest branch of the U.S. military... has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed on 14 June 1775... After the Revolutionary War, the Congress of the Confederation created the United States Army on 3 June 1784 to replace the disbanded Continental Army."
