Armed Forces Day occurs each and every year on the third Saturday of May (Tomorrow, May 15th this
year).
This national day of honor was created to salute the loyalty and hard work of American troops in
every branch of the military - Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard. Up until 1949, each branch of the armed forces had their own day of celebration. Unifying these days of tribute into one event, Armed Forces Day was proclaimed to be a national day by President Harry Truman on February
20, 1950.
Fighting for our personal freedoms, members of the United States Armed Forces train hard, work hard and often place themselves in grave danger for the benefit of the greater good. America's military is one
of the largest around in terms of manpower, second only to China, with nearly 1, 473,900 active
personnel and 1,458,500 reserve personnel. For most of the history of the armed forces, employment
has been voluntary although "drafts" have been implemented in various times of war and peace.
The US military is a leading force of might and strength around the world with large amounts of high-tech,
powerful equipment to provide marked capabilities in defense and creating an image of power.
Wearing military uniforms is a mandatory requirement to being part of the proverbial team; the styles of
uniforms vary from branch to branch and have evolved markedly over time. While official rank and
number are required to wear a real military uniform, there are many options in navy, marine, air force
and army costumes for even the most ardent of military fans. Wearers of military costumes will
command lots of attention dressed up in the replica gear and garments of their idolized men and
women in uniform and military peak cap .
.
Some military costumes look realistic down to the last brass button while others are
strictly for fun, like the super sexy women's costumes from the various armed force branches.
Rightfully portrayed as heroes, it's no wonder that fictional military characters abound in popular
culture. From the blazing guns and muscles of big screen, little screen and comic book GI Joe to the Air
Force Academy "Top Gun" played by actor Tom Cruise, there are many popular pretend armed forces
costumes and costume ideas to choose from. Of course, every army costume, navy costume, marine
costume, and air force costume needs costume accessories such as pretend grenades, aviator glasses,
army boots, toy machine guns and more!
