The U.S Flag Day June 14 2025
June 14th holds a special significance for the United States. It marks both the U.S. Army’s birthday and U.S Flag day.
On this day in 1777, the Continental Congress recognized and adopted the Stars and Stripes as the United States’ official flag. And years later in 1949 the formal recognition of June 14th as the Flag Day was established by President Harry S. Truman.
Throughout the centuries…… across the world, the U.S flag has been the leading defender of freedom, by fighting openly against tyranny, oppression, fascism and authoritarian systems.
The Stars and Stripes is not only the representative of United States national emblem, but prominently on the international stage and….. for the rest of the world…..,it is the enduring aspirations of Freedom and Liberty, Human Rights and Democracy.
