Ft. Bragg, June 10, 2025 – Yesterday, we had the honor of witnessing the Commander in Chief, President Donald Trump, visit Fort Bragg as part of the Army’s 250th birthday celebration. His presence was a reminder of the strength, resilience, and dedication of our service members - past and present.
As a soldier and a proud military wife, I know firsthand the sacrifices made by our military families. Let this moment inspire us to continue standing strong, supporting one another, and ensuring that every airman, soldier, and spouse feels valued. Together, we uphold the legacy of service and commitment that defines our armed forces. Let’s keep pushing forward, lifting each other up, and honoring the mission we serve!
I just wanted to share this because moments like these remind us why we do what we do—supporting and uplifting those who serve. Leadership, unity, and dedication are what drive us forward, and this visit was a powerful reflection of that.

Washington, D.C. (June 14, 2025): In this photo by Staff Sergeant Oscar Toscano, Soldiers participate in the Army's 250th Birthday Parade that included troops in historical and modern uniforms marching alongside equipment and vehicles from key eras of Army history.
Finding themselves without a force to fight the British, the American Army was established on June 14, 1775. under the command of George Washington. Prior to the creation of a professional Army, the colonists relied on local civilian soldiers, or militia, which were untrained and often ineffective. In 1784, the first full regiment of Regular Army infantry, the 3rd Infantry Division, was formed. The unit today is known as the “Old Guard” and remains the oldest branch of the U.S. military. The Army overcame numerous military setbacks, a lack of equipment, and dwindling supplies to defeat the British Army, the most powerful military force in the world at the time.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
