June 14 will mark the 250th Army Birthday. The central birthday theme is “This We’ll Defend,” which highlights the Army’s purpose of fighting and winning our nation’s wars.
As we celebrate #Army250 and reflect on the rich history and legacy of service, sacrifice and dedication, the U.S. Army Garrison Japan Public Affairs will also be highlighting some Soldiers to tell their story as part of our “Soldier Spotlight” series.
Capt. Jorge Vargas, a future operations planner assigned to U.S. Army Japan G35, will mark his 19th year in the Army in June.
In this vignette, Vargas shares why he is proud to be an American Soldier and why he continues to serve.
