Happy 50th Anniversary to the F-15!
The F-15 Eagle has remained one of the @usairforce's main 4th generation platform fighters since its inception. On July 27, 1972, test pilot Irving L. Burrows took the F-15 Eagle up for its first flight and the rest is history. #AlwaysReady

Today is the anniversary of the 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement which marked the end of the Korean War.
In a call to defend freedom and democracy abroad, 1.8 million Americans joined the fight to protect our Korean allies over the course of 3 years. We thank those who served.

If you didn鈥檛 know, red, white, and blue pairs shockingly well with the stars.
Defenders of the highest frontier AND sharp dressers? No wonder they call us the jack of all trades. Happy #IndependenceDay, Guardians.

25 years of the F-22 Raptor! #RAPTOR25
The F-22鈥檚 contributions to air superiority played a key role in providing combat air power as the @usairforce's 1st 5th gen fighter aircraft. 2022 is a landmark year as the Air Force turns 75, ACC turns 30, and the F-22 turns 25! #ReadyAF

Today is National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day.
Over half a million servicemembers sacrificed their freedom as POWs. Today, we pause to honor and remember those POWs and the families who waited for their return.
