AUSA Philadelphia

Yesterday, we had the honor of standing alongside our community to recognize and remember our Vietnam Veterans. At the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial, we gathered to reflect on the service, sacrifice, and resilience of those who answered the call during a defining time in our nation’s history. More than 58,000 Americans gave their lives in Vietnam. Yesterday was not only a moment of remembrance, but also a moment to say what should have always been said: Welcome home. AUSA Philadelphia is proud to support and stand with the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Society and our local veteran community to ensure these heroes are honored, remembered, and never forgotten. #AUSAPhilly #VietnamVeteransDay #WelcomeHomeVeterans #ArmyHeritage #Philadelphia #NeverForgotten #ArmyStrong

We were honored to join fellow leaders and members of our community at the Union League for the WPSOP Founders Day event hosted by the West Point Society of Philadelphia, bringing together leaders in a shared commitment to service and leadership. Moments like these strengthen the relationships that support our Soldiers, our community, and our mission. #AUSAPhilly #WestPoint #ArmyLeadership #ArmyStrong #Philadelphia

This Sunday, we gather to honor the service, sacrifice, and legacy of our Vietnam War Veterans. March 29 marks the day U.S. combat troops withdrew from Vietnam in 1973.

#OTD in 1776, Thomas Paine published Common Sense a pamphlet that helped spark American independence. Written in plain language and widely shared, it shaped public opinion and proved that powerful ideas can change history. Paine later served in the U.S. Army and remained a lifelong advocate for liberty. #OnThisDay #AmericanRevolution #PhiladelphiaHistory #ArmyHeritage #AUSAPhilly

As we step into 2026, the AUSA Philly Penn&Franklin Chapter remains focused on one mission: strengthening our Army by connecting leaders, industry, and the local community. This year will bring meaningful conversations, impactful events, and continued advocacy for Soldiers and their families right here in the Greater Philadelphia region. We’re proud of the community we’ve built and we’re looking forward to what’s ahead. #AUSAPhilly #AUSA #ArmyLeadership #Philadelphia #ArmyAdvocacy

We pulled off a historic, 3-day celebration with thousands of attendees, countless moving parts, and one massive mission: to honor 250 years of the U.S. Army. It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t easy. But it was POWERFUL. This event was built by veterans, for veterans, with sweat, sacrifice, and straight-up determination. If you were part of it in any way, thank you. And if you weren’t? Don’t worry. You’ll be hearing about this one for years. 📸 This is most of the team who made it happen, not everyone is pictured, but every single person played a pivotol role. #army250 #ausahonors250 #militarylegacy #philadelphiaevents #ausaorg #veteranpride #communityimpact

Did you know that TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY new enlistees were sworn in right here in Philly during the Army’s 250th Birthday celebration?! 🇺🇸💥 That’s not just symbolic—that’s the next generation of strength, service, and sacrifice stepping up on the same historic ground where it all began. Philly didn’t just show up… we made history. And we’re just getting started. 🫡 #Army250 #AUSAHonors250 #GoArmy250 #Philadelphia #FutureSoldiers #SwearInCeremony #ServiceAndSacrifice #HistoryInTheMaking #HonorThem #CelebrateService

🎂 What’s a 250th birthday celebration without cake? Gen. Mingus didn’t just cut the Army birthday cake, we’re fairly certain he sabered straight through the table. 💥🍰 The Army Cake Cutting Ceremony is more than a celebration—it’s a time-honored tradition that reflects unity, honors the past, and connects generations of Soldiers, from the newest enlistees to our most senior leaders. As Gen. Mingus shared: "250 years ago, they asked: What kind of country do we want to be—and who will defend it?" We’re still answering that call. Still honoring that legacy. Still celebrating with purpose. Here’s to 250 years of service, sacrifice, and yes, even sabered sugar.(had to!) *A special thank-you to Erica Liermann for designing four cake toppers worthy of 250 years of service and to Army250 Sponsor James Liscio of Liscio's Bakery (Liscio's, Inc.) for bringing that vision to life in the most thoughtful (and delicious) way. #Army250 #AUSAHonors250 #USArmy #MilitaryTradition #GenerationsOfService #Leadership #Legacy #PublicService #CommunityCelebration
