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.
