Armed Forces Day is observed annually on February 11 in Liberia to honor the heroic deeds and sacrifices of the country's military personnel. This national holiday celebrates the diligence of the Armed Forces of Liberia, which has its roots in a 19th-century militia. The day includes military parades and ceremonies that recognize veterans of the National Army and Coast Guards, as well as the Armed Forces' role in protecting Liberia's territorial integrity. The President of Liberia, as Commander-In-Chief, proclaims this day, which has evolved to also emphasize the importance of security standards within the armed forces. The observance serves as a reminder of the military's historical significance and ongoing commitment to national defense.
