We have to credit our friends over at Young in Rome for coming up with this brilliant new Italian word, a combination of the Italian words passeggiata (a stroll) and gelato (if you donât know what gelato is, you need to get to Italy right away!).
As the largest and senior branch of the U.S. military, the modern U.S. Army has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed (14 June 1775) to fight the American Revolutionary War (1775â83)âbefore the U.S. was established as a country.
The Continental Army was formed after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War by the colonies that became the United States of America.he Continental Army was supplemented by local militias and troops that remained under control of the individual states or were otherwise independent. General George Washington was the commander-in-chief of the army throughout the war.
