June 14th is Flag Day. Our country began celebrating this important day during the 19th Century, although the inspiration for Flag Day goes back to 1777. That is when the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution defining our first flag.

Our flag is a symbol of respect and pride everywhere in our country. Although terrorists and radicals try to diminish our country and our flag, they will never be successful as long as we stand together.

That is why Flag Day is an important day for each of us. Stand united - fly our flag proudly. Respect it, and honor the men and women who have sacrificed everything to keep it flying freely through the ages.
