Happy Flag Day!
On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution approving the design of the national flag, stating, “the Flag of the thirteen United States shall be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white,” and the “Union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation.”
In 1916, more than 100 years later, President Woodrow Wilson established June 14 as Flag Day to commemorate that decree.
