Today, we celebrate 236 years of independence – a freedom won by America’s first citizen-Soldiers. As members of the Army Reserve, we have an opportunity to continue in this long line of service to our Army and Nation. To every Soldier, Army civilian, Family member, and employer of our traditional reservist – thank you. It is your dedication to duty and selfless service that keeps us free. Have a great 4th of July!
Twice the Citizen, Army Strong!
