250th Anniversary of the Founding of the United States Army

President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation marking June 14, 2025, as the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Army, highlighting its historical significance and ongoing role in defending the nation. The proclamation underscores recent policy changes under Trump's administration, such as removing "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" initiatives from the military, updating transgender medical standards, and reinstating service members dismissed over COVID vaccine refusals, which may have legal and political implications. These actions reflect a focus on strengthening military capabilities and recruitment, aiming to maintain the U.S. military's global dominance.
