So, we also have another birthday to attend to... a loud one. 😁 We'd like to wish a very very Happy 247th Birthday to the United States Army Field Artillery, established (Friday) November 17th, 1775. Despite an obsessive-compulsive (and misguided) concept that it is obsolete, the Artillery remains the largest casualty-causing weapons system on the battlefield. (Not that I'm biased, or anything - I spent six years of my life as a Redleg 😉) The Field Artillery remains on the leading edge of the technology field, staying abrest of all possible modernizations in weapons platforms, ammunition, and fire-control. It is, and will always remain, The King Of Battle. *** Seen here is an M777 .155mm howitzer (affectionately referred to as a "Triple-Seven"). Of British design, it is used by both the US Army and Marine Corps, and depending on ammunition used, can reach out anywhere 14 to 25 miles.*** Happy Birthday, Redlegs!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photo: US Army #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #onlyinnewjersey #njspots #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancock #fieldartillery #artillery #redlegs #redleg #henryknox #kingofbattle #m777 #m119 #m109 #paladin #firemission #fortsill #fortsilloklahoma #firecontrol #forwardobserver (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFlzyqtWx-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are great creatures and we have our goals and dreams. The way that people reveal themselves to you is important. The intent may be Genuine but it can change based on conditions. Be bold in your moves and be great in your dreams and goals. You are the only thing that can stop forward progression and no one else. #forwardobserver #forwardthinking #lifechanges #peopleevolve #evolution (at Shepherdsville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_CZCfFptSj/?igshid=kxfpr8wq3iv3
