Flag Day is celebrated to commemorate the adoption of the official flag of the United States, which occurred on June 14, 1777.
The colors are traditionally recognized for their patriotic symbolism. Red signifies the hardiness, valor and bravery. White symbolizes purity and innocence. Blue represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice. The 13 original stripes represent the original colonies, while the 50 stars stand for the 50 current states.

Women have served in America's wars and conflicts throughout our history. They played vital toles in the Revolutionary War, serving as soldiers, raising morale and spying on the enemy. It is known that some even disguised themselves as men to be able to serve. Today we recognize and honor the signing of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act, allowing women the right to permanently serve in the regular armed forces.
