Armed Forces Day is a special day on June 30th in some countries where people say thank you to the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who protect the country. It's like having a big party to show how much we appreciate them. People might have parades with marching bands, and soldiers show their uniforms and equipment. Kids can learn about the different jobs in the military, like piloting planes or sailing ships. It's a way for everyone to remember the hard work and bravery of those who keep us safe and to feel proud of our country's armed forces.
