A few more flags may have been flying in the air today to celebrate Flag Day, which commemorates the day when the flag’s design of 13 alternating red and white stripes and 13 white stars over blue was finalized on June 14, 1777. The origin of Flag Day has been accredited to different people, including several school teachers, but it wasn’t official until 1949 when Congress permanently established June 14 as National Flag Day.
