In the United States, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It falls near the end of Armed Forces Week, which begins on the second Saturday of May and ends on the third Sunday of May.
First observed on 20 May 1950, the day was created on 31 August 1949, to honor Americans serving in the five U.S. military branches – the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard – following the consolidation of the military services in the U.S. Department of Defense. It was intended to replace the separate Army-, Navy-, Air Force-, Marine Corps- and Coast Guard Days, but the separate days are still observed, especially within the respective services.
The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated by parades, open houses, receptions and air shows. The United States' longest running city-sponsored Armed Forces Day Parade is held in Bremerton, Washington. In 2012, Bremerton celebrated the 64th year of the Armed Forces Day Parade.

After 8 wonderful alcohol fueled years the Western Maryland Chapter Clubhouse is closing its doors. With COVID last year and rent and taxes going up it is not in the cards to continue on. It has been a hell of a run and we want to thank all the brothers of this great club for the support over the years. The WMD Clubhouse has been the location of many Open houses, Rides, Bike shows, Charitable fundraisers, Birthdays, Memorial parties, Weddings, Divorces, patch parties, and Stripper nights along with many more bad decisions and poor life choices.
So, with that said we have (2) more clubhouse parties planned. So, clean up those 2 wheeled death machines and ride on out and help us drink up our inventory and have a few more laughs make some more memories and possibly some bad decisions.
CLUBHOUSE ADDRESS:
18045 Oak Ridge Drive Hagerstown, Maryland 21740
