The Southaven Police Department on Tuesday saluted the Army on its 251st birthday, saying the service “has been to protect freedom, democracy and justice since 1775,” and that those are values the department respects and shares.
The department posted the statement on its social media account to mark the anniversary and to recognize the long-standing role the Army has played in American life. The post did not provide additional details about local events or ceremonies.
The acknowledgement underscores ties between local law enforcement and military institutions, and reflects a broader tradition of public recognition for service members and veterans. Community leaders and public safety agencies often commemorate military anniversaries to honor current and former service members and to reinforce shared commitments to public service and security.
Details on any planned observances in Southaven were not included in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
