This Friday is Flag Day and Trump’s Birthday.  We the People will host a flag rally from 10am-12pm across from Craigo’s on 620 on Friday morning.  Please join us in red, white and blue attire.  We have America First signs to twirl and flags galore. Stand with us or drive by and give us a wave and a honk. 

Flag Day is a holiday celebrated on June 14 in the United States. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.^[1] The Flag Resolution stated “That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”^[2][3]

The United States Army also celebrates the U.S. Army birthday on this date, as Congress adopted the American continental army after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.^[4][5]

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. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. Title 36 of the United States Code, Subtitle I, Part A, CHAPTER 1, § 110^[6] is the official statute on Flag Day; however, it is at the president’s discretion to officially proclaim the observance.
