Today is Flag Day.  A special day to fly our flags proudly.  I read this on The Farmers Almanac and thought you might be interested:
 
There were few public ceremonies that honored the flag until June 14, 1877, when it was flown from every government building for the centennial of the flag’s adoption. After that, many citizens and organizations advocated the adoption of a national day of commemoration for the flag. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson unofficially declared June 14 as Flag Day.
