June 14, 1777. Today is Flag Day! On May 30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14. Many Americans celebrate Flag Day by displaying the Red, White and Blue in front of homes and businesses.

But it wasnât until 1949 that Congress passed legislation to that effect and President Truman signed it into law. So Flag Day has an official date. But it is not a full-blown federal holiday.
