Today is Flag Day. The American Flag is my Pride Flag.
It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The Flag Resolution stated "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.
The holiday was first proposed shortly after the 1861 attack on Fort Sumter that started the Civil War.
On August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was officially established by an Act of Congress.
Let your free flag fly.
"The American Flag is my Pride Flag" Thanks for that one!
