Flag Day 2014

Flag Day 2014

Flag Day commemorates an important moment in our nation’s history—the adoption of the American Flag as the symbol for our fledgling nation.  The Stars and Stripes has inspired our soldiers to press forward on the battlefield, everyday people to live extraordinary lives, and filled our hearts with gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy. This powerful symbol has helped unite our diverse country toward the principles of our founding. On this day, I ask everyone to take time and reflect on our nation’s history, where we came from, and where we are going.
