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 Organization Act of 1950 (enacted 28 June 1950) set forth the legal basis for the various basic and special branches in the current Army (see Title 10, United States Code, Sections 3063 and 3064). It also permits the creation of other branches as the Secretary of the Army considers necessary.
