Flag Day Coloring Pages
Flag Day in the United States commemorates the first adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened June 14th by resolution of the
Second Continental Congress in 1777. At that time the flag contained only 13 stars, the current US flag contains 50 stars, one for each state.

In the United States the week of June 14 is designated as "National Flag Week." During National Flag Week, the president will issue a proclamation urging U.S.
citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week. The flag should also be displayed on all Government buildings.
Some organizations hold parades and events in celebration of America's national flag and everything it represents.
The National Flag Day Foundation holds an annual observance for Flag Day on the second Sunday in June. The program includes a ceremonial
raising of the flag, recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, singing of the National Anthem (The Star-spangled Banner), a parade and more activities.
