New from AMP The Army has been forged in the fires of revolution, tested on continental battlefields, battered at the shores of Normandy, and hardened on the sands of the Persian Gulf. From its first stand at Lexington, the Army has always had a non-negotiable contract with the American people to fight and win the nation's wars. Now, more than 225 years after the founding of the Continental Army, the courage and heart of the United States Army is celebrated for the first time in a remarkable desk calendar featuring fifty-three visually stunning images and accompanying text from The Army book. This calendar allows the history, firepower, personnel, and proud tradition of the Army to be cherished in a handsome package that each of the more than 16 million U.S. soldiers and their families will be proud to own and use.
