Flag Day 2024
Happy Flag Day 2024 – June 14th
Flag Day 2024 commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.
Did you know that colonists did not fight united under a single flag, during the American Revolution? The Second Continental Congress met to create the Continental Army to unify the troops and organize the battle against the British. A flag with Continental Colors was developed as a new symbol of freedom to unite the country.
On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and that “the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson officially established June 14 as Flag Day.
