This Sunday is Flag Day - Just putting out the meaning of it and a picture of Steve folding a flag at Fort Sumpter.
Flag Day is observed every year on June 14 to commemorate the adoption of the official flag of the United States. The holiday honors the Stars and Stripes as a symbol of national freedom, unity, and identity. While it is not a federal public holiday, it is widely recognized across the country through ceremonies, parades, and community events.
Notably, Flag Day also coincides with the birthday of the United States Army, which was established by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1775 — two years before the flag itself was adopted. In 2026, the Army marks its 251st birthday on this date.
