Americans across the nation come together each year on June 14th to celebrate Flag Day — a tradition that honors one of the most powerful symbols of our country’s history and unity.

On this date in 1777, the Continental Congress officially adopted the Stars and Stripes as the emblem of our new nation. Ever since, the American flag has stood as a proud representation of freedom, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the United States.

Flag Day is more than a day to display our nation’s colors — it’s a time to reflect on the foundations that built this country.

Each star and stripe tells a story of sacrifice, hope, and the relentless pursuit of liberty and justice for all. Whether it’s waving on your front porch,  at a local park, or lining the streets of downtown, let’s take a moment to honor the generations who’ve stood under this flag and the values it represents. Fly your flag with pride today and every day — because the symbol of freedom deserves to be seen.
