Happy Flag Day! Today, we proudly celebrate Flag Day, a day dedicated to honoring our nation's symbol of freedom, unity, and strength. On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States. Since then, our flag has stood as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the values we hold dear. Whether you're displaying the flag at home, in your community, or online, share your photos and stories with us! 📸 Show us how you're celebrating F

The first government attempt to give Canada a flag came in 1925 when Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King established a committee to study the question. He immediately backed down when there was a general outcry against any attack on the Union Jack. By 1965, Canada had a flag of its own. | Historica Canada
