On June 14, 1777, in order to establish an official flag for the new nation, the Continental Congress passed the first flag act. And for the last 233 years, Americans have pledged allegiance to the flag that reminds us of our past and gives us hope for the future.
The flag is a symbol of our national unity, national endeavor, and national aspiration.
The flag tells of the struggle for independence, of union preserved, of the sacrifices of brave men and women to whom the ideals and honor of this nation have been dearer than life.
Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is should stand as a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation's founders and heroes. As the ultimate icon of America's storied history, the Stars and Stripes represent the very best of this nation.
In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated every June 14 and it commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that on that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.
Today, let us take a moment to reflect upon our flag and recognize the sacrifices of those who have fought to protect it.
