Flag Day (United States)
In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption
of the flag of the United States, which happened on that day in 1777 by resolution of
the Second Continental Congress.[1] The United States Army also celebrates the
Army Birthday on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental army" after
reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.[2][3]
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established
June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.
