This Day in History

June 14 is the official commemoration of the adoption of the US flag. That occurred at the Second Continental Congress, on June 14, 1777. President Woodrow Wilson proclamed the day to be Flag Day in 1916. Although it is not a federal holiday, its a great reason to put out the stars and stripes. You may have seen them around town today. Today is also the birthday of the US Army, which was founded on June 14, 1775 by Congress. Happy Birthday, soldiers!
