18 Sep U.S. Air Force Birthday
Happy Birthday to the United States Air Force!
The US Air Force became its own official branch of the military in 1947 after 40 years of association with the Army. Air Power was crucial in World War 1, and due to the boundless capabilities of an air domain, after World War 2, the independence of the Air Force was inevitable. Since then, the US Air Force 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 2 began, the clear lines of separation between the branches were gone.
Today Zeiders is proud to celebrate 78 years of the United States Air Force. Many Zeiders employees have affiliation with the Air Force as Reservists, Veterans, spouses, children, and parents. We are inspired by your sacrifice and courage and united by our shared values of integrity, service before self, and striving for excellence in all we do.
Happy Birthday Air Force!
