Happy Flag Day – June 14, 2022!

Flag Day, also called National Flag Day, in the United States, a day honouring the national flag, observed on June 14. The holiday commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag.

The anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 – was established on May 30, 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation declaring the national Flag Birthday to be on June 14.

“The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history.”
