As we celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, we honor the legacy of service and the international heroes whose contributions helped build the Army we know today.
Baron Friedrich von Steuben, a Prussian Army officer, played a pivotal role in shaping the U.S. Army into a professional fighting force.
Volunteering to serve in the American Colonies, von Steuben became the Continental Army’s inspector general and, in 1778, authored the Army’s first official drill manual—famously known as the “Blue Book.” This manual standardized training and discipline, laying the foundation for the modern U.S. Army. His work influenced military tactics well into the 19th century.
As General Washington’s chief of staff and trusted advisor, von Steuben’s leadership and legacy remain vital to our Army’s history. After the war, he became a U.S. citizen and lived in New York until his passing in 1794. 🇺🇸🇩🇪

🇰🇷 In Honor of Korean Memorial Day (현충일)

Beneath the flag, we pause and pray,
For those who gave their lives away.
Their courage built the peace we know —
Their memory lights the path we go. ~Unknown

Korean Memorial Day, observed annually on June 6, is a deeply meaningful and solemn day in South Korea. It honors the men and women who sacrificed their lives in military service for the country, particularly during the Korean War (1950–1953) and in other conflicts and national service.

We remember. We are grateful.
