250 Years Strong: Honoring the U.S. Army’s Legacy of Service

On June 14, 1775, before America even declared its independence, a force was born — one that would defend freedom, fight tyranny, and become the backbone of our nation's defense. That force was the United States Army.

Now, 250 years later, we celebrate a legacy built on sacrifice, grit, and unshakable patriotism.

For two and a half centuries, the U.S. Army has stood at the front lines — not just of war, but of history. From the fields of Lexington to the sands of Iraq, from peacekeeping missions to homeland defense, soldiers have answered the call without hesitation. They didn’t do it for fame, and they sure didn’t do it for comfort — they did it because they believe in something greater than themselves: the United States of America.

At United First Apparel, we’re more than just a clothing brand. We’re proud Americans who believe in honoring the men and women who’ve served — and continue to serve — with courage and conviction. The Army’s 250th anniversary isn’t just a number. It’s a reminder of the price of freedom and the strength it takes to protect it.

So today, we salute every soldier — past, present, and future. Your legacy is etched into every flag we fly, every right we defend, and every generation that gets to live free.

Happy 250th Birthday, U.S. Army. Here’s to the next 250.
