Today is Flag Day

June 14, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

We have a great history in the United States. Today is flag day. I have mine flying out in front of the house. May God bless the United States of America.

Thursday is Flag Day, marking the date in 1777 when Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes. Some facts about the U.S. flag:

— President William Taft issued an executive order in 1912 dictating the proportions for the flag and placement of the stars. Before then, these features were left up to the flagmaker, resulting in unusual star arrangements and odd proportions.
