June 14 is celebrated as Flag Day each year. This day was chosen to commemorate adoption of  the “Stars and Stripes” as the United States flag in 1777. Although it had been celebrated in various locales for a number of years, the holiday wasn’t recognized as the National Flag Day until President Harry S Truman signed an Act of Congress on August 3, 1949.
