Today is the U.S. Army's 251st birthday! That's right, Congress "Resolved" to establish six companies of men on June 14th, 1775. The next day, Congress appointed George Washington to command the Continental forces, which became the foundation for the U.S. Army. We have a flyable Army veteran, our UH-1H Huey helicopter. Our Huey, named "Greyhound" served during the Vietnam War. Check out our website to see when you could take a ride on our Huey helicopter.
