TODAY IS FLAG DAY. We salute our flag and our forefathers that sacrificed for our freedom.

Learn Our History Today: On June 14, 1777, during the American Revolution, The Continental Congress adopted a resolution officially stating the specifications for the U.S. flag. The flag was to have, “thirteen alternate stripes red and white." In addition, the flag would feature “thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation." This flag soon became known as the “Stars and Stripes,” and it was based on a flag that had been used by the Continental Army in battle since 1776.

Later, as more and more states were added to the Union, new stars were added to the field of blue and more stripes were added to the flag to symbolize these new states. However, in 1818 Congress passed a resolution stating that the thirteen original stripes be restored and kept that way for the future. On the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes in 1877, Congress passed another resolution declaring June 14 to be Flag Day. From that point on, every June 14 has seen the American Flag flown over every public building in the nation.

Also, on this day in U.S. history:
1846: California settlers declared independence from Mexico in what became known as the Bear Flag Revolt.
1916: At the Democratic Convention in St. Louis Woodrow Wilson campaigns on the slogan "he kept out of the war."
1953: General and 34th President Dwight Eisenhower condemns McCarthy’s proposal to burn books.
