President Donald Trump issued a proclamation designating the third Saturday of May as Armed Forces Day, honoring the dedication and service of America's military personnel across all branches, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force. Emphasizing his commitment to maintaining a powerful and ready military, Trump highlighted a significant increase in enlistment numbers, marking the highest recruitment rates in 30 years.
