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 correct answer here is the US Army. The Army actually predates the United States itself, as it was formally created by the Continential Congress on June 14, 1775. The Navy followed closely on the Army's heals, as it was established on October 13, 1775.
