Flag Day is celebrated each year on June 14 to mark the anniversary of the adoption of the American Flag by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. Records indicate that the inspiration for the flag we call "Stars and Stripes" was designed by Betsy Ross, also believe to have sewn the first flag.
There have been 27 variations in flag design over the years as the colonies grew into the 50 states represented on today's flag. According to the National Flag Foundation, there is a white star sewn into a blue background representing each state. The star represents justice, perseverance, and vigilance. Blue in the background represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice.💙 As for the other colors, red stripes are for valor and white stripes are for purity and innocence.
The American Flag is the living symbol of our great nation. Its care is essential to honor our country's past, present, and future. The National Flag Foundation outlines respectful flag etiquette, which is the responsibility of every American.🫡
