Today we honor the Stars and Stripes and the generations of Americans who have served beneath it.

Flag Day commemorates June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress adopted the first official flag of the United States. For Veterans, the flag represents duty, sacrifice, and the memory of those who gave some and the some who gave all in service to our nation. For today's service members, it remains the symbol of the oath they continue to uphold. For all Americans, it stands as a reminder that freedom is never free.

As we display Old Glory today, let us also remember the men and women who defended it throughout our nation's history. One of the most meaningful ways to honor the flag is to support those who served under it.

This Flag Day, take a moment to thank a Veteran, support a local VFW Post or Auxiliary, and reflect on the freedoms secured through generations of service and sacrifice.

🇺🇸 Honor the Flag. Remember the Service. Support Our Veterans.
