The third Saturday in May is Armed Forces Day. This year, that is May 16th. It is a day we honor those who are currently serving in all branches of our Armed Forces. Back in 1949, Armed Forces Day was established when they combined the separate military holidays – Army Day, Marines Day, etc. This was due in part to the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.
I have gathered some resources for you in honor of this holiday. Not only is it a great time to learn more about each of our Armed Forces, it is a wonderful opportunity to color some pictures or make a card and give or send it to those currently serving in our military.

And even though they are not the same holiday, many of the Veteran’s Day printables would be okay to use as well. Especially those that talk about each branch of the military.
