Happy Flag Day .!
In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The United States Army also celebrates the U.S. Army Birthdays on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday.
On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale. New York Statutes designate the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, a state holiday.
14 juin - le jour du drapeau americain.
Aux États-Unis, le jour du drapeau (anglais : Flag Day), célébré le 14 juin, commémore l'adoption du drapeau des États-Unis qui s'est déroulée à cette date à la suite d'une résolution du Second Congrès continental en 1777.
Pendant la guerre de Sécession, en 1861, l'Union décide d'un jour consacré à la célébration du drapeau1. Le président Wilson officialise ce Flag Day en 19161. En août 1949, le National Flag Day est établi par un acte du Congrès. Ce jour n'est pas un jour férié fédéral aux États-Unis mais l'État de Pennsylvanie (et seul état à ce jour) en a fait un jour férié d'État.
