On June 14, 1775, the Continental Army was born, forging a legacy of courage, sacrifice, and service that continues to define the United States Army. As we celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary in 2025, The Modern Apostle LLC invites our Catholic and patriotic community to honor this milestone with prayer, pride, and purpose. Just as a Catholic priest brought the Holy Eucharist to soldiers on Omaha Beach during D-Day, we see the Army’s history as a testament to faith in action. Join us in commemorating this historic day and discover how our faith-based apparel, artwork, and books can help you express your devotion to God and country.
A Legacy Rooted in Faith and Service
For 250 years, the U.S. Army has defended our nation’s freedoms, from the battlefields of the Revolutionary War to modern global missions. This legacy resonates deeply with Catholic values of sacrifice and service, as seen in soldiers who embody Christ’s call to “lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). Like St. Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of soldiers, the Army stands as a protector of justice and liberty. At The Modern Apostle LLC, we draw inspiration from this harmony of faith and patriotism, crafting products that celebrate both.
A Catholic Reflection on the Army’s 250th Anniversary
The Army’s motto, “This We’ll Defend,” echoes the steadfast commitment found in Psalm 18:2: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.” For Catholics, this milestone is an opportunity to pray for our soldiers, reflect on their sacrifices, and live out our faith boldly. Whether you’re a veteran, an active-duty service member, or a supporter, you can honor the Army’s 250 years by wearing your faith and patriotism proudly.
We also Celebrate the Army’s 250th Birthday by:
• Praying for Our Troops: Recite the St. Michael Prayer or attend Mass to pray for the safety and strength of our soldiers.
• Supporting Veterans: Donate to a veterans’ charity or volunteer in your community to honor those who’ve served.
• Sharing the Legacy: Spread the word about the Army’s 250th anniversary with #ModernApostle and #Army250 on social media.
The Modern Apostle LLC is more than a store—it’s a movement to evangelize through faith and patriotism. As we celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary, we invite you to join us in praying for our troops and sharing this milestone with your community.
