#FlagDay President Nixon and Special Assistant Robert J. Brown with an American flag from the Watts Manufacturing Company. In 1916, President Wilson designated June 14 as Flag Day and Congress established National Flag Day in 1949. It's also the United States Army's 244th birthday! (WHPO-5234-07; 12/8/1970)

Posted @withregram • @armyhistory A self-taught artillerist, Henry Knox seems an unlikely father to the U.S. Army’s Artillery Corps; despite this, Knox’s mastery over the “King of Battle” proved instrumental to American victory in the Revolutionary War. By the time Knox joined the Revolution in April of 1775, he had tutored himself in military engineering and field artillery. At the Battle of Bunker Hill, Knox directed artillery fire against the Redcoats, and when the Continentals withdrew from Boston to besiege the city, Knox designed Patriot defensive fortifications. Within a few months of General Washington’s arrival outside Boston in the summer of 1775, he entrusted Knox with a vital task: procuring the guns of Ft. Ticonderoga. The Vermonter Ethan Allen had captured the British stronghold in May of 1775, along with its artillery pieces; the capture of these heavy guns was a boon to the Revolution, which needed artillery to force the British from Boston, but their location deep in the woods of Upstate New York made them nearly inaccessible. When Knox arrived at the fort on 5 December, 1775, he faced the harrowing prospect of moving 120,000 pounds of artillery 300 miles during a New England winter. Undaunted, Knox organized a convoy he dubbed his “noble train”, transporting his 60 ton payload across inhospitable terrain over 40 days of brutal drudgery. Knox arrived back in Gen. Washington’s camp in late January, having lost not one of his 59 guns; in March, his artillery occupied the high ground at Dorchester Heights, south of Boston. With command over the city and its harbor, the Continentals forced the British to withdraw, winning one of the Revolution’s first victories. Knox was quickly made commander of the Continental Army’s artillery, and became one of Gen. Washington’s most valued advisors and handpicked successor as leader of the Army. When Gen. Washington was elected President in 1789, he chose Gen. Knox to be the first U.S. Secretary of War. #Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #FieldArtillery #ArmyHeritage #ArmyBday https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce4ZbavudY_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted @withregram • @armyhistory The emblem of the U.S. Army was derived from the "War Office Seal." The War Office was established as the Board of War and Ordnance by the Continental Congress in 1778 to superintend military matters during the nation's War for Independence, and became synonymous as the War Department and Headquarters of the Army. The seal was not originally intended as an insignia, but the stamp used to authenticate documents as "official." It bore the date 1778 in Roman numerals, or MDCCLXXVIII, to recognize the War Office's origin in the Continental Congress. In the 1880s the design was adopted with the banner, "War Office." When the National Security Act of 1947 reorganized the nation's military establishment under a unified Department of Defense, the former War Department became the Department of the Army, and the "War Office" banner was replaced with "Department of the Army." The date was also changed from 1778, the date when the War Office was established, to 1775, to reflect the year in which the Army was established. The images on the emblem reflect the traditions of military service and the founding of the nation. The item in the center is a Roman cuirass, or armored breastplate, which is a symbol of strength and defense. The sword, espontoon, musket, bayonet, cannon and , cannon shot, mortar, and mortar bombs are all representative of Army implements - or "the tools of the trade" used at the time of the Revolutionary War. The drum and drumsticks are symbols of public notification and the Army's purpose and intent to serve the Nation and its people. The "Liberty Cap," or "Phrygian" cap, represents the founding of the Army for the defense of American liberty and is supported on the point of the unsheathed sword. #Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #ArmyBDay #Army247 (at Middle Tennessee Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1yFG5OB5_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
