Flag Day is a holiday celebrated on June 14 in the United States. 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."

I'm still flying the Grand Union Flag until the end of the Month,

after which I will switch to the Virginia flag when Virginia declared independence (June 29th),

and then, on July 4th, switch again to the Betsy Ross.

Betsy Ross was actually adopted later, but the semiquincentennial is the proper moment to make the switch.
