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 United States Army considers itself descended from the Continental Army, and dates its institutional inception from the origin of that armed force in 1775. As a uniformed military service, the Army is part of the Department of the Army, which is one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense.
