| | Happy 249th Birthday to The U.S. Army!Today’s U.S. Army dates back to the American Revolution, when the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution creating the Continental Army on June 14, 1775.
Two days later, the roots of the commissary benefit were formed when the Continental Congress created two offices: the Commissary General and the Commissary General of Stores and Purchases. |

Congress passed legislation in 1949 "urging the people of the United States to observe Flag Day" on the anniversary of this milestone. |
