Flag Day Jun 14, 2026

Flag Day

On June 14, the stars align—and not just figuratively. They line up on a piece of fabric that has seen battles, protests, and backyard barbecues. Flag Day marks the 1777 decision by the Second Continental Congress to adopt the national flag, but the story goes beyond stitches and stripes.
