Today marks the 67th birthday of the U.S. Air Force. As the nation’s strategic, tactical and defensive force for the skies, the U.S. Air Force was officially founded by the National Security Act of 1947. Although they belong to the youngest branch of the U.S. armed forces, advancements in both science and society allow all airmen to “Aim High…Fly-Fight-Win!”

  3. Happy birthday, happy birthday, we wish you all Happy Birthday! That is probably the song that’s heard and sang in our lives. We heard when we were babies and then learned and sang in our birthday and those of our family and friends . Undoubtedly, it is the most popular song, the best known and sung. Happy Birthday comes from English and over time has resulted in a multitude of languages worldwide.
