Army Birthday Message from DCoE Director


By Navy CAPT Paul S. Hammer, DCoE director

Two hundred and thirty-seven years ago today, the Continental Congress authorized 10 companies of riflemen, what we know today as the U.S. Army Infantry, to serve the United Colonies thereby establishing the U.S. Army. Today is an opportunity to celebrate and honor the history of our nation and the steadfast service of the men and women who proudly wear the Army uniform and those who serve alongside them. On behalf of all of us at the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury, I would like to wish the U.S. Army a Happy 237th Birthday.

In honor of today’s celebration and our nation’s Soldiers and their families, I encourage everyone to share a birthday message and words of support in the comments section of this blog or on our Facebook page. To learn more about the Army and the history of the day, please visit the Army Birthday website.
