A SYMBOL WORTH SERVING
Flag Day, observed each year on June 14, marks the adoption of the United States Flag in 1777, when the Continental Congress approved the first official design for our nation’s banner. Over time, the flag has evolved to reflect the growth of the United States, but its meaning has remained constant—a symbol of unity, resilience, and the enduring promise of freedom. From historic battlefields to front porches across America, it stands as a powerful reminder of where we’ve been and what we continue to strive for as a nation.
That flag has been carried into battle, draped over the shoulders of heroes, and folded with honor to be placed in the hands of grieving families. Generations of service members have lived—and too many have died—defending what it represents.
