On June 14th, Americans recognize Flag Day. Flag Day was first observed in 1877 on our flag's 100th birthday. The day has been observed every year since then. In 1916, Woodrow Wilson responded to popular appeals and made in a nationwide observance. In 1949, Congress resolved “That the 14th day of June of each year is hereby designated as Flag Day.” So fly that flag proudly this June 14th.
