Today is Armed Forces Day. Take a moment to thank military members and veterans for their service.

The holiday began in 1949. It celebrates all military branches on a single day. Each branch of the military had its own holiday prior to that.

At today's Cool Site, you can learn more about Armed Forces Day. Included are quotes about the holiday from prominent Americans.

Then, peruse the pictures from previous years' celebrations. The pictures go back to the 1950s.

If you want to join in the festivities, check for local events. You can search by state.

And to everyone in the military, thanks for your dedication. Happy Armed Forces Day!
