FLAG DAY, June 14, is the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official US flag in 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that established June 14 as Flag Day. It is not an official federal holiday.
FATHER’S DAY, June 20, when fathers are honored by their children, was first observed in 1908 to complement Mother’s Day. After a sporadic history, President Lyndon Johnson issued a proclamation in 1966 designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon made it a permanent national holiday when he signed it into law.
