Flag Day HistoryFlag Day commemorates the adoption of the national emblem, the The history of Flag Day can be traced back to June 14, 1777, when the Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution. This established the national flag's design that features 13 stars and 13 stripes to represent the 13 colonies. The idea of a day to celebrate the flag gained traction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was particularly championed by individuals like Bernard J. Cigrand, a Wisconsin teacher who organized the first formal observance in 1885. After several decades of various communities holding their own Flag Day celebrations, President Woodrow Wilson officially established June 14 as Flag Day in 1916, and Congress later solidified this proclamation in 1949. Communities observe Flag Day by hosting parades, ceremonies, and special events to pay tribute to this influential icon. Many people choose to display the flag proudly on this day, engaging in heartfelt tributes that showcase their love and respect for this symbol of the United States. Flag Day is observed annually on June 14th, providing an opportunity for Americans to reflect upon the history and significance of the flag. Flag Day facts
