About National Flag Week
Ends: Jun 18, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
National Flag Week is always around June 14, or National Flag Day. This is the week when the United States honors its flag. During this week, Americans focus on how freedom was achieved and its relation to the flag; they also pledge their allegiance to it and renew their beliefs in liberty, justice and unity. They do this by displaying 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 in order 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 14th of that year which also coincided to 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 issued a proclamation that there should be a National Flag Day. It was not until August of 1949 that this occasion became official through the signing of the legislation by President Harry Truman, making June 14 as the Flag Day.
