Flag Day is observed annually on June 14 to commemorate the adoption of the United States flag in 1777. On that date, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution establishing the design of a national flag featuring thirteen stripes and thirteen stars representing the original colonies.
While observances of Flag Day date back to the late 19th century, it was officially recognized by Congress in 1949. Although it is not a federal holiday, communities across the country mark the occasion with ceremonies, educational events, and patriotic displays.
Flag Day honors the symbolism of the American flag as a representation of national unity, history, and shared civic identity.
