Many Americans celebrate Armed Forces Day annually on the third Saturday of May. It is a day to pay tribute to the men and women who serve the United States’ Armed Forces. Armed Forces Day is part of Armed Forces Week, which begins on the second Saturday of May.

During Armed Forces Day, people across the United States organize a variety of events to honor American in uniform who serve their country in times of war and peace.
