Today, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. proudly honors the 79th birthday of the United States Air Force, a force that has safeguarded our skies and defended our nation with unwavering dedication.
Originally established as part of the U.S. Army in 1907, the Air Force became an independent branch of the military in 1947, thanks to the leadership of fellow VFW Life Member, President Harry S. Truman, who signed the National Security Act into law. Today, “Big Blue” continues its mission to fly, fight, and win - delivering airpower anytime, anywhere, in defense of our nation.
We express our deepest gratitude to all past and present members of the U.S. Air Force.
