Celebrating Flag Day: A Tribute to American Patriotism

Daily Clout:
Flag Day is a special day in the United States that commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the nation. Celebrated annually on June 14th, this day is a reminder of the values and principles that the American flag represents, and it serves as an opportunity for citizens to reflect on the importance of patriotism, especially in these trying times.

The origins of Flag Day can be traced back to June 14, 1777, when the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution establishing an official flag for the new nation. The resolution stated: “Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” This design was chosen to symbolize unity, freedom, and the new constellation of states forming the United States of America. more here
