In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the
adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on that day in 1777 by
resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The United States Army also celebrates the Army birthday on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental
army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June
14, 1775.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an
Act of Congress. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. Title 36 of the United
States Code, Subtitle I, Part A, CHAPTER 1 § 110 is the official statute on Flag Day;
however, it is at the President’s discretion to officially proclaim the observance. On
June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a
state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale. New York Statutes designate
the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, a state holiday.
Perhaps the oldest continuing Flag Day parade is in Fairfield, Washington. Beginning in 1909 or 1910, Fairfield has held a parade every year since, with the possible
exception of 1918, and celebrated the "Centennial" parade in 2010, along with
some other commemorative events.
Appleton, Wisconsin claims to be the oldest National Flag Day parade in the nation, held annually since 1950. It was also named "Most Patriotic City in America"
by AmericaTheBeautiful.com in 2008.
