DESCRIPTION:

National Flag Week always centers on June 14, National Flag Day. This week, Americans display the American flag in their homes and public buildings. Other activities to commemorate this occasion include flag-raising ceremonies, essay competitions, and street parades.

The National Flag Foundation is actively seeking activities that can nurture the love of the American flag and the traditions that come along with it to keep this occasion alive.

This occasion started in 1886 when Bernard Cigrand, a school teacher in Wisconsin, decided to hold a Flag Birthday on June 14, coinciding with the 108th anniversary of the Stars and Stripes US flag. Cigrand continued to advocate for this day by advertising it in magazines and newspapers. Soon enough, people from New York and some organizations in Pennsylvania started to follow suit. They began to display flags in various public buildings and homes. Schoolchildren were also given small flags and were encouraged to sing patriotic songs.

On June 14, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that there should be a National Flag Day. It was in August of 1949 that this occasion became official by signing the legislation by President Harry Truman, making June 14 Flag Day.
