Flag Day-June 14th

While we all know the history of Independence Day and how it came to pass, how many of us can say that we know the history of Flag Day and how it came to pass. How many people in the nation know when or where the tradition that is now known as Flag Day originated?

 

The earliest recorded Flag Day celebrations were independent activities, often as a part of school educational programs. A school district in Fredonia, Wisconsin began as early as 1885 to celebrate "Flag Birthday", followed by schools in New York a few years later. The Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia conducted a Flag Day celebration in 1891. By 1893 the children of Philadelphia were gathering at Independence Square to celebrate the birth of the flag. To this day the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the only state where Flag Day is a legal holiday, though it is observed in all 50 states as a day of honoring our Flag.

 

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation making June 14th a day of honoring our flag and celebrating its birth. The United States citizens enjoyed displaying their flags and celebrating its birth each year, but there was little consistency as there were no federal or state regulations to provide guidelines regarding display of the flag.

 

In 1949 the United States Congress took formal action on the matter of Flag Day. On August 3, 1949 President Harry S Truman signed their resolution "That the 14th day of June in each year is hereby designated as Flag Day." It is the right of every American to proudly display the flag that speaks of our freedom. But with every RIGHT comes some RESPONSIBILITY as well...including the responsibility to display the flag properly and with respect.

 

There is a right way and a wrong way to display the flag. The American flag should be held in the highest of regards. It represents our nation and the many people who gave their lives for our country and our flag. Here are the basics on displaying the American flag:

The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset.

The flag should not be flown at night without a light on it.

The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather.

After a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half-staff for 30 days. It's called "half staff" on land , and "half mast" on a ship.

Never let your flag touch the ground, never...period.

Fold your flag when storing. Don't just stuff it in a drawer or box.

When your flag is old and has seen better days, it is time to retire it. Old flags should be burned or buried.

Please do not throw it in the trash .
