Armed Forces Day in Liberia is an annual observance held on February 11, dedicated to honoring the country's military forces and their contributions to national security and stability. This day holds significant importance in Liberia, reflecting historical and contemporary recognition of the military's role in developing and safeguarding its sovereignty.
