Armed Forces Day is a national observance in the United States, celebrated annually on the third Saturday of May each year.

Connecticut’s tradition is the Armed Forces Day Luncheon. Each year Connecticut’s military, veteran, civic, and business community attend the Armed Forces Day Luncheon to celebrate military service and to honor the hundreds of thousands of Connecticut citizens and residents who serve or have served our great State and Nation. Traditionally this annual event has provided an excellent atmosphere of camaraderie and this year promises to be no exception.
