Flag Day is here. Each year: 14 June. Perfect opportunity to share with folks what the flag means to each one of us, individually; why the flag should be displayed; how the flag should be properly displayed. So, where did Flag Day come from? Well, glad you asked because I just happen to have the answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_Day_(United_States)

Flag Day (United States) - Wikipedia
In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.[1] The United States Army also celebrates the U.S. Army Birthdays on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.[2][3]
