🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day from the Georgia Genealogical Society! 🇺🇸

Today, June 14th, we celebrate the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States back in 1777.

For genealogists, Old Glory is a powerful reminder of the generations who lived, worked, and served under it. From the early days of Georgia's statehood through every major chapter of our nation's history, our ancestors looked to the flag as a symbol of hope, community, and resilience.
