Flag Day is celebrated on June 14th to commemorate the adoption of the Flag of the United States by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777. A proclamation was issued to officially establish June 14th as Flag Day in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson and became National Flag Day in 1949 by an Act of Congress.
