Today is Flag Day. It was created in 1916 by President Wilson, after he issued a proclamation declaring June 14th to be Flag Day. This day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States which occurred in 1777.
We've had many versions of the America flag since the creation of our republic, all of which carry their own story and uniqueness. The flag is a symbol of everything we stand for and the sacrifices those who came before us made so that we can enjoy those freedoms. Americans are encouraged to display the U.S. Flag today (you're also encouraged to display it the other 364 days of the year).
