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 ARMY was created before we became the United States. The Continental Army was founded on June 14, 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of riflemen to â¦ serve the United Colonies for one year. However, if the United States overseas territory of Puerto Rico is included, then the city of San Juan would in fact, be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States, founded in 1521. + 64 others found this useful.
