Today, June 14, is Flag Day! It was June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress adopted the "Stars and Stripes" as the original American flag.
The Fourth of July is just a few weeks away. But did you know National Flag Day is this Friday, June 14? Independence Day may mean celebrating our freedom as a nation but National Flag Day is very significant in its own special way. Basically, it was the birth of the stars and stripes of the American flag.
