Flag Day, Monday, June 14, marks the anniversary of the adoption by Congress in 1777 of the Stars and Stripes as emblem of the nation. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson, and later, in 1927, President Calvin Coolidge, suggested that June 14 be observed as Flag Day. It was not until August 3, 1949 that the National Flag Day Bill became law, giving official recognition to June 14 to celebrate the flag. So proudly fly your flag.
