About Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day is marked on the third Saturday of May each year in the United States. It’s one of the observances proclaimed by US presidents listed on Wikipedia.

In 2027 it falls on a Saturday; in 2028 it’s on Saturday 20 May, and in 2029 on Saturday 19 May. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens. Also in May 2027: International Day of Families (15 May), Day of Arafah (15 May) and International Toad Day (15 May). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
