Whether you fly a flag daily, or only on special occasions, flag week is a great time to remember all the USA flag stands for and show your pride by flying your flag. This year, Flag Week falls the 10th – 16th of June. Every year during this time, the President issues a proclamation urging US citizens to fly the flag and government buildings also display the flag. This tradition commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes by the 2nd Constitutional Congress on June 14th, 1777.
Although Flag Day (June 14th) is not an official Federal Holiday (so you can still go to the Post Office that day), the national celebration was established by an act of Congress in 1949, after the earlier proclamation by Woodrow Wilson.
Flag Day is a great day to initiate a new flag to your family’s life, to teach your kids about what the flag symbolizes or to retire older flags.
