Two hundred and thirty-four years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our Nation. From the Revolutionary War until today, our Soldiers remain Army Strong with a deep commitment to our core values and beliefs. This 234th birthday commemorates America’s Army – Soldiers, Families and Civilians – who are achieving a level of excellence that is truly Army Strong both here and abroad. Their willingness to sacrifice to build a better future for others and to preserve our way of life is without a doubt, the Strength of our Nation.
The 314th Public Affairs Operations Center commemorated the Army Birthday at FOB Prosperity. SGTs Bryan Tull, Paul Roberts and Brad Richardson raised the stars and stripes above the Combined Press Information Center.

Happy belated birthday!! The pictures are so meaningful to those of us who like to imagine what you are doing and it is always nice to see those handsome young familiar faces. Keep up the good work and be safe. God’s speed to each of you. Don’t ever forget the many millions of Americans who appreciate what you do everyday. We are proud to be part of your extended family.
