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.
Considerations. While Flag Day is a holiday focused on the American flag, it is not the same thing as Independence Day. These two holidays are often mixed up due to their background and nature. Unlike Independence Day, which is a federal holiday, Flag Day is not considered a government holiday. This means that government offices and most businesses are opened on this day. The exception is Montour County, Pennsylvaniaâthe historic area in which the American Flag was created.
