18 Sep Happy Birthday US Air Force

Happy Birthday to the United States Air Force! In 1947, the US Air Force became its own branch of Military after 40 years of association with the Army.

During World War I, the value of air power became evident. Due to the boundless capabilities of an air domain, after World War II, the independence for the Air Force was inevitable. Since then, the United States Airforce has remained a critical part of our military capabilities through strategic, tactical, and defense capabilities.

Aircrafts provided opportunity to impact enemies beyond a depth that could be readily imagined. In between the World Wars, services began to develop and invest in their respective aviation arms, and by the time World War II began, the clear lines of separation between branches were gone.

Today, Zeiders Celebrates the Air Force’s dedication and innovation and honors the people who support the defense of our nation in the air. Many Zeiders’ employees have an affiliation with the Air Force as a member, a Reservist, veteran, spouse, child, or parent. We are inspired by the sacrifices and courage each member of the Air Force, and united by our shared values of integrity, service before self, and striving for excellence in all we do. Happy Birthday US Air Force!
