What is Flag Day?

In 1885, a school teacher from Wisconsin, named Bernard Cigrand, led his school in the first observance of the holiday to honor the American flag across the country.  Thanks to US President Woodrow Wilson, it was officially adopted into rotation as a yearly holiday every June 14th as of 1916.

Why is it always on June 14th?

In June of 1775, the Second Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia to create a unified colonial military force to push forward in the war of independence from Britain.  On June 14th in 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution specifying the United States flag’s new design; it would have 13 alternating stripes in red and white, and 13 white stars against a blue background to represent the union.
