ON 14 JUNE 1775, THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS RAISED TEN COMPANIES OF EXPERT RIFLEMEN TO SERVE IN THE DEFENSE OF THE COLONIES. SINCE THAT DAY, GENERATIONS OF SOLDIERS HAVE FAITHFULLY PROTECTED OUR SOIL AND ADVANCED AMERICAS INTERESTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD. 3. HISTORIAN GUY CHAPMAN ONCE NOTED OF SOLDIERS, BY YOUR COURAGE IN TRIBULATION, BY YOUR CHEERFULNESS BEFORE THE DIRTY DEVICES OF THIS WORLD, YOU HAVE WON THE LOVE OF THOSE WHO HAVE WATCHED YOU. THIS REMAINS TRUE TODAY. YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS AND COMRADES IN ARMS HONOR YOUR SERVICE, YOUR SACRIFICE, YOUR COURAGE AND YOUR SELFLESS DEVOTION TO DUTY, TO EACH OTHER AND TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY. 4.
