Sam Fisher Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 In 2003, June 14th marks the 226th birthday of the U.S. Flag. In 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes pattern for the national flag. This would follow almost one year after the Declaration of Independence and more than a decade before the U.S. Constitution was finalized. Flag Day was first celebrated in 1877, the centennial of the U.S. flag's existence. After that many citizens and organizations advocated the adoption of a national day of commemoration for the U.S. Flag. It was not until 1949, that President Harry Truman signed legislation making Flag Day a day of national observance. To any Mod's, this is not a spam post, it is something for everyone.

France helped us along time ago. They did not support Bush in the war. I do think the whole Freedom Frie thing is stupid, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
