Americans observe Flag Day each year on June 14, the day when the Continental Congress first issued the U.S. Flag in 1777.
This year’s Flag Day is extra special because 2014 also the 200th anniversary year of The Star-Spangled Banner, our national anthem written by Francis Scott Key, a Maryland attorney.
The U.S. Flag, America’s most recognizable symbol, inspired Key to write his famous song’s lyrics.
Celebrate Flag Day Today
