It fell on Sunday and maybe a few noticed it and maybe for some a small smile crept across their face knowing what many who have been treated by an Army Doc may not understand is that today, July 27th, 2014 marks the Birthday of the United States Army Medical Corps!
One of the most significant branches in the entire US Army!
The United States Army Medical Corps!
No better branch or part of the United States Army has the sole responsibility of treating our soldiers in times of war and peace than the doctors that comprise this important branch of the US Army.
The Army Medical Corps or MC, of the United States Army is a staff corps, and treated as a non-combative specialty branch, of the U.S. Army Medical Department, AMEDD, comprised medical physicians that are commissioned medical officers that possess a medical doctorate or a D.O. degree. These doctors must also have in their possession a minimum of 1 one year of post-grad clinical training as well as a state medical license.
The Medical Corps has a long and honorable tradition with its roots going back to July 27th, 1775 and is very nearly as old as the United States herself. The earliest physicans of the US Army MC were recruited by the 1st Continental Congress through the Medical Department of the Army. It was later in 1908 that the branch and name “Medical Corps” was officially designated even though the doctors had been using the terms for quite some time previous to this.
Presently, the Medical Corps is comprised of over four thousand four hundred active duty docs trained in a variety of specialties and subspecialties of civilian medicine. The roles of the MC doctors is diverse where they are billeted to fixed military medical facilities and hospitals, to Army units that are deployable and can be sent into combat or to specific military medical research facilities and labs. Army doctors and physicians are treated as fully deployable soldiers and medical officers. The head of the MC, Medical Corps Branch is a colonel and at the highest level officer in the Army is the US Army Surgeon General, who is a lieutenant general.

National Guard Mobilized in 3 US States
Texas National Guard Mobilized to USA – Mexico Border
National Guard Mobilized in 3 US States . We support the Texas Army National Guard 100% and we are sure that they will complete their mission with honor and effectiveness. However, what’s the point of them being there? The children coming across the border are not trying to evade capture, they are trying to be captured.
They know that U.S. law requires that each of them gets evaluated by a court. And with the system as clogged as it already is they know they have a pretty good chance to stay here for a while. So what will the National Guard do beside cost Texas taxpayers money? (source: The Arizona Republic)
Governor Rick Perry is using this wildy popular stance to make a political statement at the cost of $1.3 MILLION per WEEK.
“If the federal government does not do its constitutional duty to secure the Southern border of the United States, the state of Texas will do it.”
Should the Texas National Guard be at the border? If they are stopping illegal immigration, we are all for it, but if all they are doing is being taken away from their homes and families to boost Rick Perry’s political capital, I say send em back home!
Do you think they should be there? Tell us in the comments!
Oregon National Guard and Washington National Guard Mobilized To Fight Forest Fires
Oregon’s Governor John Kitzhaber followed Washington State in declaring an emergency Wednesday night to bring in the National Guard to battle 13 wildfires, many of which are raging through the central part of the state.
More than 400 people were assigned to fight the fires, according to USA Today, including one that had burned through more than 2,000 acres in Mitchell, nearly 200 miles southeast of Portland. Some of the fires were started by lightning strikes on Friday and were expected to expand, assisted by the weather, which was hot and windy, the report added. (source: Business Times)

Once More Unto The Breach T-Shirt
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it.
Once More Unto The Breach T-Shirt
