๐บ๐ธ Happy Flag Day!
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the first official American flag. Since then, our flag has evolved alongside our nation, growing from 13 stars representing the original colonies to the 50-star flag we know today.
A few milestones:
โข 1777 โ The first official U.S. flag is adopted
โข 1818 โ Congress establishes the system of adding a star for each new state
โข 1916 โ President Woodrow Wilson proclaims June 14 as Flag Day
โข 1949 โ Flag Day becomes an official national observance
Today, the Stars and Stripes remains a symbol of freedom, unity, and the generations of Americans who helped build and defend our country.
Happy Flag Day from all of us at Whitetail Lodge.
