Official Army B'Day Celebration about to start here in the Pentagon courtyard. Complete with a tank made out of cupcakes by the DC Cupcake girls on TV. They were just shooting off a few cupcakes into the crowd a minute ago.

I'll resist my urge to make the obvious jokes about the Army and Cupcakes!

Happy B'Day to the AF's Big Brother!

I agree, but it is slightly better than the "Army of one" crap they had for a few years. Why did they ever change "Be all you can be"? I will always like that one.

Happy Birthday Army!

Ha, well, I agree, some other slogan would be nice.

But I kinda like the ring on this one:
