Flag Day - Are You flying a USA Flag?
June 14, 2010
Why is Flag Day noted on many calendars? It is not a national holiday, but June 14 is the day Americans honor their flag. While June 14 was officially named as a day to honor the flag by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, it was not until 1949 that Harry S. Truman signed an official Congressional Resolution marking the day.
Why June 14? The Stars and Stripes made its debt on June 14, 1777.
In Redlands, it is great to see many homes with white flag poles flying the American Flag in the front yard. The installing of these flags is the Old Glory Flag Fundraising Project of Boy Scout Troop#3. For just $30 per year, Troop #3 will install in your yard a 3'x5' flag on an 8' pole. They do this installation for 7 U.S. holidays. They put the flags up early in the morning and take them down before dark in the evening.
