Flag Day


Today is Flag Day !  On May30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing a national Flag Day by displaying the Red, White and Blue in front of homes and businesses.  The day commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Strips as the official flag of the United States.  Put up your flag today.
