flag day {june 14, 2022}

Flag Day is a celebration of the American flag. It is done as a remembrance of the introduction of the country's first flag on June 14, 1777, as the official American flag by the Continental Congress.

The Continental Congress introduced the American flag at a time when the country was in the middle of the Revolutionary War, and almost every colony had its own flag.

The Declaration of Independence made it absolutely necessary to introduce the universal American flag. On June 14, 1777, Congress made a resolution outlining the purpose of a national flag for 13 colonies.

I'm a cranky hanky panky

I'm a dead square honest Yankee

And I'm mighty proud of that old flag

That flies for Uncle Sam

Though I don't believe in raving

Ev'ry time I see it waving

There's a chill runs up my back

That makes me glad I'm what I am

Here's a land with a million soldiers

That's if we should need 'em

We'll fight for freedom!

Hurrah! Hurrah! For ev'ry Yankee tar

And old G.A.R.

Ev'ry stripe, ev'ry star

Red, white and blue

Hats off to you

Honest, you're a grand old flag ~

"You're a Grand Old Flag," by George M Cohan
