America¡¯s Armed Forces Day 2010


Our service members carry on the proud traditions of duty and valor that have sustained us  from our earliest days of independence. Today, we have the greatest  military force in the history of the  world because we have the finest personnel in the world. Wherever  they are needed, from Iraq and Afghanistan to right here at home, they  are serving and protecting our Nation.


America's Armed Forces represent the very best of our  national character. They have answered the call to defend our Nation,  and their service and sacrifice humble us all. On Armed Forces Day, we  pay tribute to these patriots who risk their lives, sometimes giving  their last full measure of devotion, to preserve the vision of our  forebears and the freedoms we enjoy.


People across the country are paying tribute to the army personnel  who have dedicated their live in the service of the nation. Special  parades are being held to celebrate the day. Special lessons are taught  in the schools to help children understand of army in the country.

President of the United States of  America, and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces 2o10 0f the United  States, continuing the precedent of my predecessors in office, do hereby  proclaim the third Saturday of each May as Armed Forces Day.
