US Flag Day 2010 is Today
June 14 is National Flag Day. We commemorate the day when Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the Stars and Stripes as the national flag on June 14, 1777.
According to the National Flag Day Foundation, Flag Day was born on June 14, 1885, after Bernard Cigrand, a 19-year-old teacher in Waubeka, Wisc., placed a flag on his desk and assigned essays on its significance. It took two presidents and an act of Congress, but years later Flag Day became official.
