As military mothers and families, we know the sacrifices that come with service. We are grateful for every Soldier who has worn the Army uniform and for the families who stand beside them through deployments, training, homecomings, and every challenge in between.

Today, we celebrate the proud legacy of the United States Army and the generations of Soldiers who have served with honor.

To our active duty Soldiers, Army veterans, National Guard members, Reservists, and Army families:

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to our country.

Saint Joan of Arc
1412-1431
Feast day: May 30
Patronage: France; martyrs; captives; military personnel; people ridiculed for their piety; prisoners; soldiers
Joan of Arc, national heroine of France, was born in 1412 during the Hundred Years War. At age 12 she began receiving visions of Saint Michael, as well as other angels and saints, telling her to drive out the English. Possessing remarkable mental and physical courage, Joan led the French army to victory over the British at Orleans when she was 18. Several additional victories led to Charles VII’s coronation. Eventually burned at the stake, she held up a cross calling continually upon the name of Jesus. A retrial declared her innocent in 1456 making her a martyr. Joan of Arc was canonized 500 years later.
