Today, we celebrate Flag Day.

Flag Day commemorates the anniversary of the occasion on which the Second Continental Congress declared that the American flag would have “13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and “13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation” in 1777.

We are grateful to the soldiers and veterans of our nation who made the ultimate sacrifice so that our Stars and Stripes would always be raised high!

Happy Flag Day!
