Flag Day
Stars-and-Stripes anniversary
Flag Day is June 14 in the United States, commemorating the adoption of the American flag by the Continental Congress in 1777.
It's a day for displaying flags and modest patriotic observance, though it's not a federal holiday—banks stay open and mail gets delivered.
We always fly the flag on Flag Day.
