Flag Day: Why June 14?
Monday, June 14, is Flag Day. The picture to the right is from the Library of Congress, called “The Birth of Old Glory,” by artist Percy Moran, from 1917.
You can find it, along with a history of Flag Day on the Library of Congress’ website, under Today in History: June 14.
The answer is there to why Flag Day is celebrated on June 14.
On that day in 1777, the Continental Congress approved the 13-star, 13-stripe design of America’s national flag.
The federal government also has a Web page to answer all your questions on flag protocol.
