On April 23rd the U.S. Army Reserve will celebrate its 116th Birthday. This month, the Army Reserve is honoring the men and women who embrace their roles as “Citizen Soldiers” by continuing a proud and distinguished legacy of service within the total Army and across the Nation as a community-based force.

The skills these Soldiers bring both in and out of uniform add substantial value and depth to the force. They are doctors, lawyers, academics, scientists, engineers, cyber specialists, police officers, first responders, transportation specialists, administrators, and more – and they’re at the top of their fields. Whether performing combat missions and contingency operations, or saving lives and protecting property in cities, towns, and communities, the Army Reserve has, and will, continue to offer versatile, available, and effective capabilities for the American people.

The Army Reserve supplements the Army’s operational and strategic capabilities at large, providing units with unique and in-demand skills across military intelligence, civil affairs, engineering, cyber, medical, legal, and aviation fields and beyond.  Serving at least one weekend a month and two weeks a year, usually within 90 minutes of home, Army Reserve Soldiers provide a critical link to both the public and private sectors.

The strength of the Army Reserve lies within Soldiers’ diverse backgrounds, cultures, and history. Each Soldier contributes to an adaptive and culturally astute Army Reserve that further enhances their capabilities around the world. Since 2001, Army Reserve Soldiers have been mobilized and routinely deployed in dozens of countries around the world and have made a positive impact in communities right here at home. From natural disasters to national emergencies, the Army Reserve has never failed to answer the Nation’s call.

Join Brigadier General Fred Hockett, Deputy Commanding General – Support, United States Army Recruiting Command, as he discusses the significance of the Army Reserve’s 116th birthday and highlights the Split Training Option, which allows high school juniors to get a head start toward a career. He’ll also talk about his career and the many ways the Army Reserve is preparing Soldiers to serve, lead, and shape the future.

Here are a few birthday traditions from around the world:

China

Traditional Chinese birthdays aren’t even counted the same way as they are in the West. A child’s first year of life is counted as one instead of zero, so that a child is two years old in his second year (their first birthday as we could count it), three years old in his third year (his second birthday), and so on.

In traditional Chinese culture, a baby’s first month birthday is celebrated with a red egg and ginger party. Before modern medicine, infant mortality was very high in many countries, so a child that survived through their first month had a much greater chance of staying alive. This party is when the baby is formally introduced to friends and family and the baby’s name is officially announced for the first time.

Traditionally, the most important birthday in Chinese culture is the 60th. In Chinese culture 60 years is one cycle of life, so 61 is the beginning of a new life. On their birthday morning the person celebrating will eat a bowl of long noodles to symbolize their long life.

England

An old English birthday custom is to mix a coin and thimble into the birthday cake batter. Superstition says that the person who got the coin in their slice of birthday cake would be wealthy, while the unlucky finder of the thimble would never marry.

When someone turns 21 in England (they can legally drink at 18, so it’s not quite the party like it is here in the States), they are sometimes given a key to the house as a symbol of their coming-of-age. The key means their parents have given the birthday boy or girl permission to come and go as they please.

Germany

Historians say that birthday cake tradition started in Germany when the cakes given as treats on Christmas started being given out to celebrate children’s’ birthdays. German birthday cakes are supposed to have candles that burn all day, one for each year they are celebrating.

Never wish a German “happy birthday” before their actual birthday. No cards, no gifts, no nothing! It’s considered bad luck.

If a German man turns 30 and still isn’t married, he is supposed to sweep the steps at City Hall to show they are good husband material to the eligible women in town. Meanwhile, a single woman is supposed to clean all the doorknobs in her house. The only way out of the chore is to get a birthday kiss from a member of the opposite sex!

Holland

In Holland certain birthdays (5, 10, 15, 20, and 21) are called “crown” years. The birthday child (or teen or adult) is supposed to receive an especially large gift that year. Their family also decorates the birthday boy’s/girl’s chair at the table with seasonal flowers or paper streamers, paper flowers and balloons.

In the Netherlands, a man’s 50th birthday is known as “Abraham” after the Biblical patriarch Abraham, who supposedly lived to be 175. Women are known as “Sarah” on their 50th who, according to the Bible, lived until she was 127.

Vietnam

Birthdays as we know it are only really celebrated in the most urban areas of Vietnam, those cities most heavily influenced by Western Culture. Everyone celebrates their birthday on New Year’s Day in Vietnam, also known as “tet.” Vietnamese tradition is that an individual’s actual day of birth is not to be celebrated. Rather, people become a year older every year at tet, regardless of when they were actually born.
