![JWV Salutes “Old Glory” on Flag Day
Today, June 14th is National Flag Day, when we commemorate the flag’s official adoption on June 14, 1777; a day to honor and show respect to the Stars & Stripes and what it represents.
President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14th as Flag Day in 1916, “The anniversary of the day upon which the flag of the United States [became] the emblem of the Union."
The flag’s design has been officially modified 26 times since 1777, adding stars as new states joined the Union. President Eisenhower ordered the current 50-star version in 1959 when Alaska and Hawaii became the 49th and 50th states.
Title 4 of the U.S. Code sets out rules for the display and handling the flag. While it carries no penalties for private citizens, it’s considered the standard of respect owed to the national emblem. Veterans organizations, scouting groups, and civic leaders
urge families to brush-up on the basics of flag etiquette.
