Celebrated annually on the third Saturday in May, Armed Forces Day honors all men and women currently serving – or have served – in any branch of the U.S. military. The day was created in 1949 by then Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force days. President Harry Truman released a proclamation in 1950 officially establishing the holiday. Armed Forces Day is part of National Military Appreciation Month. (U.S. Air Force graphic by Jim Varhegyi)
