Commissioner and Vietnam veteran Ken Epperson of District 12 read a special proclamation recognizing the upcoming anniversary and reviewing its history. He explained that on June 14, 1775, General George Washington and the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army, marking the birth of the United States Army and laying the foundation for the nation’s military defense.
“With the primary objective of defending the Constitution of the United States of America. Not a king, not a monarchy, not an individual. So I want us all to remember that,” Epperson said.
Commissioner Epperson also read all the names of current Caddo Parish employees who served. He then listed the many inventions and breakthroughs made by the U.S. Army over the past 250 years, from roads and bridges built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers after the Revolution to medical advancements made during the Civil War to the invention of mosquito repellent, the EpiPen, and Ray-Ban sunglasses.
