Today is the day we honor the "Stars & Stripes".
Seven red stripes...
Six white stripes...
Fifty stars...
It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. It's not a federal holiday because... well, there are enough days we get off don't you think?
When I go to Disneyland they have those ceremonies with the lowering of the flag and I'm reminded of how much Walt loved this country. I believe it's appropriate we do the same on this website.
