25 YEARS LATER, WE REMEMBER. September 11, 2001 changed our nation forever. We remember the lives taken, the families forever changed, and the courage of the first responders and ordinary Americans who answered the call in our darkest hour. And we remember the generation of heroes who stepped forward in the days, months, and years that followed. For 25 years, American service members have stood watch around the world, carrying the weight of that day with them while defending the freedoms we hold dear. Today, we honor those we lost on 9/11. We honor those who gave their lives in the fight that followed. And we honor the brave men and women who continue to serve our nation. 25 years later, we remember. We honor. And we stand with our troops. Never forget. #neverforget #troopathon #supportourtroops

Since 1775, the United States Army has defended our republic and carried the torch of liberty through suffering and sacrifice. One hundred and ninety campaign streamers fly from our Army flag, each testifying to the valor of our forebearers. Their legacy is ours to uphold.

Happy 250th Independence Day, America! Today, we celebrate an extraordinary milestone—250 years since our nation declared that freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of a brighter future were worth fighting for. For two and a half centuries, generations of Americans have built, strengthened, and protected this great nation. It's a day to reflect on our shared history, celebrate the values that unite us, and look ahead with hope for the future. At Troopathon, we're proud to honor the spirit of service, sacrifice, and patriotism that has helped shape our country since its founding. As you celebrate with family, friends, and fireworks, take a moment to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy and the countless Americans who have helped preserve them throughout our nation's history. From all of us at Troopathon, we wish you and your family a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day. #HappyFourthOfJuly #America250 #IndependenceDay #Troopathon #GodBlessAmerica #supportourtroops
