~Flag
Day is celebrated on June 14th~
Flag Day is the birthday of the
United States flag. It became a holiday
in New York State in 1897. In the next few years other states
joined New York.
But it was not until 1916 that President Woodrow Wilson
established
Flag Day by national proclamation.

as her flag unfurls on high |
