Many Americans celebrate Flag Day by displaying the PLVVLRQHGKHUWRFUHDWHDÀDJIRUWKHQHZQDWLRQLQDQWLFLSDWLRQRIDGHFODUDWLRQRILWVLQGHSHQGHQFH
Red, White and Blue in front of homes and businesses.
The day commemorates the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes as the official flag of the United States.

According to American legend, in June 1776,
George Washington commissioned Betsy Ross, a Phil-
adelphia seamstress, to create a flag for the new nation
in anticipation of a declaration of its independence.

On June 14, 1777, John Adams spoke about the flag
at a meeting of the Continental Congress in Philadel-
phia. He said, “Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen
United States shall be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white on
a blue field, representing a new constellation.” There
have been twenty-seven official versions of the flag so
far; stars have been added to it as states have entered
the Union. The current version dates to July 4, 1960,
when Hawaii became the 50th state.

Many Americans sing, pledge, and pay respect to
the flag, “Old Glory,” as a symbol of the country’s de-
mocracy and independence. Saluting the flag is a way
to celebrate and honor the United States of America.
