Today's * from Our Flag
On this date, June 14th in 1777, a Second Continental Congress resolution adopted the 'Stars & Stripes' as Our Flag of the United States.
Then, in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed and established June 14th of each year as 'Flag Day' - commemorating the anniversary of the 'Flag Resolution of 1777'.
But, it wasn't until 1949, by way of an Act of Congress signed by President Truman, that June 14th became officially designated as 'National Flag Day'.
While 'Flag Day' is not a federal holiday, there is one state, Pennsylvania, that celebrates it as a state holiday.
So, on this date, please, fly the American Flag at your home and/or business. And take a moment to look upon Our Flag and think of a patriotic person or event whose story of 'Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness' is woven into its red, white, and blue fabric.
And, Happy Birthday, U.S. Army!!!
