During the
Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, Congressional members passed a
resolution stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate
red and white,” and “the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing
a new constellation.” In 1916, over one
hundred years later, President Woodrow Wilson honored that decree by officially
establishing June 14th as Flag Day.
In honor and
