Service Birthdays
Reading the thread about the Marine Corps birthday gave me the idea about listing out all the different service birthdates:
United States Army: June 14, 1775 United States Navy: October 13, 1775 United States Marine Corps: November 10, 1775 United States Coast Guard: August 4, 1790 Civil Air Patrol: December 1, 1941 United States Air Force: September 18, 1947 Army National Guard: December 13, 1636 (no...not a mistype) Air National Guard: September 18, 1947 (same act that created the Air Force created the Air Guard)

This page shows the historical development of the National Guard from its roots until the modern day: http://www.ngb.army.mil/About/default.aspx
I found it to be very informative!
