Celebrate June 14th as the official day that commemorates flag of the United States of America. Flag Day itself was established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and today, annual parades occur across the nation to celebrate and commemorate the advent of the American flag. This day is meant for Americans to reflect on the ideals and history of "The Stars and Stripes" and remember Betsy Ross and the people that have molded the flag into what we know today.
