June 14, 1775, saw the birth of the United States Army when the Continental Congress authorized the use of riflemen to protect the Northern Colonies from British troops. Today, the U.S. Army consists of more than one million active-duty service members, National Guard, and Reserves members. ODVS interviewed three recent Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Honorees who served during different eras to reflect on their years of service and mark the Army’s 249th Birthday. #ArmyBirthday #AmyStrong
