President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.
On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days.
The single day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.

To all that serve I thank you very much.
God Bless our service members. O-beyme certainly won’t.
I looked up “army fox” and found these two options:

Claudia,
Did you know that there is a title in the British government called “Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office?”
Google it for an interesting look into a civic non-military utilization of animals.
Beautiful critters, Claudia.
Thanks for your Sunday morning smiles.
God knows, we need them!
Oh, God Bless all those who fight to protect and defend us. It’s a debt that can never be repaid. Thanks for honoring them Claudia!
