Saturday May 20, 2017: Armed Forces Day    The first Armed Forces Day was first celebrated on Saturday, May 20, 1950. The theme for that day was “Teamed for Defense”, which expressed the unification of all military forces under one government department. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the day was designed to expand public understanding of what type of job was performed and the role of the military in civilian life.  want to know more? visit www.military.com
