Many people throughout our nation celebrate both Independence Day and Memorial Day, yet they forget about celebration of thebirthday of the stars and stripes! This year, Flag Day is today June 14th.Sadly, most Americans do not celebrate the day nor know when it is! Flag Day isnot an official federal holiday, so there is no day off or overtime pay grantedto employees on this day.


What is the true meaning of Flag Day and why is June 14th significant? June 14th is historic because it was on that day thatthe Continental Congress passed an official resolution in 1777 that the flag ofthe United States would be 13 stripes alternating red and white, the unionwould be 13 stars white in a blue field representing a new constellation.  The flag also represents the people. The red and white stripes represent the original thirteen colonies and the stars represent every new state that entered the union.
