Today is Flag Day. It was on this date in 1777 when the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution and adopted the Stars and Stripes flag. However, it was not until 1916 when President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation making June 14 Flag Day. Still later, in 1949 Congress declared June 14 as National Flag Day.

Finally, for a bit of trivia, June 14 is the birthday of the U.S. Army when it was created in 1775.
