Army celebrates birthday 'under the stars'

633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs

U.S. Army Soldiers from the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) place battle streamers on the Army flag during the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Band’s Music Under the Stars concert in honor of the Army’s 243rd Birthday at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., June 15, 2018. The streamer ceremony is a tradition that recalls the Army’s history by symbolic placement of 189 battle streamers on the Army flag, where each streamer represents a conflict the Army has fought in, from the Revolutionary War to today’s war on terror.
