June 14: Flag Day

Anniversaries...

Old Glory.

In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14.

It commemorates the adoption of the flag or the U.S. on June 14, 1777, by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress.

The U.S. Army also celebrates its birthday on June 14.  Congress adopted "the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775, according to Wikipedia.
