On Aug. 31, 1949, Defense Secretary Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the armed forces under one agency — the Department of Defense. 

Our mission is to connect our local residents to their Veterans and Active Military by showcasing their custom Military Tribute Displays at the Armed Forces Day event… Those we should never forget!
