President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day. "Star's and Stripes" or "Old Glory" the first American Flag was approved by the Continent ail Congress on June 14, 1777. In 1818, after five more states joined the Union, Congress passed legislation fixing the number of stripes at 13 and requiring that the number of stars equal the number of states in the union.
Fly your flags proudly!!
