The U.S. Flag Day is coming up soon on June 14th. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14,1977 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14th as Flag Day. Congress joined in with an Act of Congress in 1946.
The entire week of June 14th is designated as “National Flag Week.” This provides an opportunity to proudly display the flag if not done year round. It is also a chance to share part of the legacy of our country with our grandchildren.
Why is it important to share our history as a country? I believe this quote sums it up beautifully: “We study history not to be clever in another time, but to be wise always.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero
