DID YOU KNOW?

1.  Did you know that the U.S. Army is 248 years old?

According to the U.S. Army Center of Military History, it was on June 14, 1775, that “the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of expert riflemen to serve the United Colonies for one year.”  

Due to its age, the U.S. Army obviously has a very decorated history. Its inception began during the Revolutionary War, and it has since gone on to become the most powerful military force in the world.

2.  The Army Is Responsible for Ray-Bans

U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant General John MacCready asked Bausch & Lomb to make glasses for his pilots that would block the rays of the sun and reduce their nausea and headaches, and thus the company Ray-Ban was formed.

3. The U.S. Army Would be the Tenth Largest City in the United States. 

There are just over one million soldiers currently serving in the U.S. Army. About half of that number is active-duty Soldiers who serve full-time, while the rest make up the reserve components of National Guard and Army Reserve. To put it in perspective, a city filled with all U.S. Army Soldiers would have more people in it than San Jose, California or Austin, Texas.
