"On Sept. 18, 1947, the National Security Act of 1947 established the Air Force as a separate military branch. It is the second youngest branch of the U.S. armed forces after the U.S. Space Force, which was founded in 2019 and also falls under the Department of the Air Force."
" However, the branch’s roots trace back to 1907, when the U.S. Army Signal Corps established an aeronautical division to take “charge of all matters pertaining to military ballooning, air machines, and all kindred subjects,” according to the Air Force Historical Research Agency. "
We acknowledge all who have served, and continue to serve.
