Celebrate
Flag Day today!
According
to The History Channel, on June 14, 1877, the first Flag Day observance was
held on the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes. As
instructed by Congress, the U.S. flag was flown from all public buildings
across the country. In the years after the first Flag Day, several states
continued to observe the anniversary, and in 1949 Congress officially
designated June 14 as Flag Day, a national day of observance.
