Army Birthday 2012

It is the 237th Birthday of the Army today.

All 3 branches (Army, Navy and Marines) were born on the same year, but it was the Army who were the first.

They do the grunt work that no one else does. They are the cannon fodder for a nation and we owe them so much.

On a personal level, my Husband served and had "clearance", while stationed in Korea. Thankfully, nothing happened, while he was there. The Pueblo Incident had just occurred and that was why he was sent that way, rather then to Vietnam. It was an escalation of the never ended Korean War, when our ship got captured by the North Koreans. So things could have gone south in a hurry. Thankfully, they didn't and he came home safe. So many don't.

In honor of their birth, so many years ago, a little bit of The Army Song , to celebrate the day.

Then it’s hi! hi! hey!
The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong;
For where’er we go,
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.

That The Army Goes Rolling Along!
