To all the GI Joes & Janes out there, past or present, Happy Birthday!
Coincidental that the American Flag is honored on the US Army Birthday? I think not. 
One could it exist without the other.
Happy Birthday to the Green Machine.
My FIL enlisted 1941, discharged in1945 with five bars on his left sleeve.

The Army was an important part of my adult life.
I joined ROTC in college in 1982.
Enlisted in the National Guard in 1983.
Received my commission in 1986.
Retired in 2011 with a quarter century as a commissioned officer and 28 years of total military service.
I’ve been retired for 13 years, longer than I was a major and lieutenant colonel combined.
Thank you for defending our country.
Happy Father’s Day!
Bill
