June 14th is “Flag Day” in America and commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The United States Army and President Donald Trump also celebrate their birthdays today!
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; on August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.
On this date Congress adopted “the American continental army” after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.
