Celebrate Armed Forces Day!

On Armed Forces Day, we honor the dedication, sacrifice, and commitment of the men and women serving in uniform, and the families who support them.

For 235 years, the U.S. Coast Guard has been proud to serve alongside our fellow armed services, protecting the homeland and standing watch alongside those defending the Nation.

Today, we reflect on the responsibility carried by those serving across the U.S. armed forces, honor the sacrifices of those who have gone before, and resolve to continue their legacy in defense of America.

Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day 2026! Today, May 8, 2026, we honor the incredible resilience, strength, and dedication of all military spouses. Your support is the backbone of our armed forces, and your commitment does not go unnoticed.

Remembering the 81st anniversary of VE Day today, a solemn occasion to honor those who sacrificed so much. It's important to never forget the end of the war in Europe and the immense cost of peace. We owe a debt of gratitude to the brave souls who fought for our freedom. Their courage and resilience continue to inspire us. Let's take a moment to reflect on their bravery and the lessons learned.

Today, May 8, 2026, marks the 81st anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day), commemorating the end of World War II in Europe. Although the war continued in the Pacific until Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) in August and September 1945, VE Day marked a pivotal turning point and signaled the approaching end of the global conflict.

America’s national parks preserve and share the stories of the nation’s World War II experience. From Pearl Harbor to life on the homefront, to the war’s atomic conclusion, these places reveal how a determined and resilient nation mobilized its people, industries, and public lands to triumph over tyranny.
