Political Quotes

“250 years ago, on June 14th, the United States Army was founded. Established by the Second Continental Congress, this marked the first American national military force a year before signing the Declaration of Independence. The Army transitioned from a horse-mounted cavalry to a modernized force of over 940,000 Active-Duty, Reserve, and National Guard soldiers. I was inspired by my father, First Lieutenant Hugh Wilson, who served with the Flying Tigers in the Army Air Corps, defending India and liberating China. I am grateful to have 31 years in the Army, with three sons who have served: Alan in Iraq, Julian in Egypt, and Hunter in Afghanistan. Aptly summarized by the Army itself, 'Older than the Nation it defends,' the U.S. Army has made a difference in history. While protecting the homeland and keeping wars foreign, the U.S. Army has liberated more countries from oppression than any other Army in world history. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues.”
