Quite a historic cay! Did you know that it was on June 14 that the US Army was, in effect, created! The Continental Army was established by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, predating both the flag and the Declaration of Independence. Moreover, it was on June 14, 1777, that the Continental Congress officially adopted the design of the first American flag. Flag Day became a national observance in May 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson declared a celebration on June 14.
Happy Flag Day!
