The Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Millsboro, Delaware will be holding its annual Flag Day ceremony. It will be presented by the Delaware Commission of Veterans of Affairs and hosted by Vietnam Veterans of America at 10:00 a.m. on June 14, 2013.
On June 14, 1777, the second continental Congress adopted the flag of the United States. The United States Army also celebrates the Army birthday on this day; Congress adopted “the American continental army” after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14th as Flag Day; min August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an act of Congress. On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first (and only) U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday and New York Statutes designated the second Sunday in June as Flag Day.
One of the longest-running Flag Day parades is held annually in Quincy Massachusetts, which began in 19552, celebrating its 63rd year in 2013. The 59th Annual Appleton Wisconsin 2009 Flag Day Parade featured the U.S. Navy. The largest Flag Day parade is held annually in Troy, New York, which bases its parade on the Quincy parade and typically draws 50,000 spectators.
