The United States Army stands as a mighty testament to the grit and determination that forged a nation. These brave men and women have long been the shield against tyranny and oppression, defending the freedoms we hold dear. As the Army celebrates its 250th birthday, conservatives across the nation should honor the monumental role it has played in shaping our great country.
The Army was established by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, in a bold move that set the stage for the birth of a new nation. This was no small act. It was a radical declaration of purpose and liberty, even before declaring independence from Britain. This was the first step toward establishing a republic where power lies in the hands of the people, not some distant monarchy. Every patriot knows that this would not have happened without the courage and sacrifice of our soldiers. Yet, some liberals conveniently forget where the true price of freedom comes from, preferring instead to nitpick and undermine American values.
Despite the rhetoric, a fact you may not know.
The Army was founded on June 14, 1775. The parade this weekend is celebrating its 250th anniversary.

One of the Army’s most defining moments was its involvement in the Civil War, where it fought to preserve the Union and abolish the scourge of slavery. Despite this, the left continues to dwell on America’s past sins while ignoring its massive strides toward justice and equality. It was the Army that took up arms to end slavery, in stark contrast to the historical sympathies of certain left-leaning factions. The left’s revisionist history does a disservice to the courageous men who fought to uphold the principle that all men are created equal.
Americans should never take for granted the brave soldiers who protect this nation. Many, like Medgar Evers, have taken lessons from the battlefield into the political arena, fighting relentlessly against injustice. Evers, a staunch opponent of Democrat-driven segregation and racism, embodies the fighting spirit of an Army veteran. His legacy stands in stark contrast to the often hollow rhetoric spouted by today’s politicians. The battle for freedom isn’t just fought abroad; it’s a constant struggle here at home against those who would nullify our hard-won freedoms.
America is a beacon of hope and opportunity, something that could have never been possible without its military backbone. Our Army has defended our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for 250 years, as detractors continue to question its necessity. As we reflect on the Army’s founding, we must also question why the left constantly seeks to undermine the very institution that has afforded them their freedoms.
Remembering our Army’s pivotal role is more than a simple history lesson; it’s a call to action. As we mark this historic day, will Americans honor the legacy of bravery, or will they continue to let it be tarnished by those who lack appreciation for their sacrifices?
