Today we celebrate the birthday of the

00:02.207 --> 00:04.790
United States Army 247 years of

00:04.790 --> 00:06.980
soldiers service to our nation . For

00:06.980 --> 00:09.510
247 years , the U . S . Army has

00:09.510 --> 00:11.732
answered the call to defend and support

00:11.732 --> 00:13.740
America against both foreign and

00:13.740 --> 00:15.851
domestic challenges and will continue

00:15.851 --> 00:18.050
to do so in the future . In fact

00:18.060 --> 00:20.990
defending America 24 7 is the theme of

00:20.990 --> 00:23.157
this year's birthday celebration . Our

00:23.157 --> 00:25.323
soldiers are the best trained and most

00:25.323 --> 00:27.323
prepared in the world , making them

00:27.323 --> 00:29.323
ready to face any obstacle they may

00:29.323 --> 00:31.657
encounter , including natural disasters ,

00:31.657 --> 00:33.768
public health pandemics and of course

00:33.768 --> 00:35.823
enemy forces . This year we've shown

00:35.823 --> 00:37.990
that we can rapidly deploy to anywhere

00:37.990 --> 00:40.212
in the world and we can quickly protect

00:40.212 --> 00:42.379
the homeland by responding to domestic

00:42.379 --> 00:44.601
unrest , natural disasters and a global

00:44.601 --> 00:47.240
pandemic any day at any time anywhere .

00:47.240 --> 00:50.090
And anyhow the US Army is always on

00:50.090 --> 00:52.970
call to defend America 24 7 . Happy

00:52.970 --> 00:54.160
birthday U . S . Army .
