In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14th.
It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.
Both President Wilson, in 1916, and President Coolidge, in 1927, issued proclamations asking for June 14 to be observed as the National Flag Day. But it wasn't until August 3, 1949, that Congress approved the national observance, and President Harry Truman signed it into law.
