FYI:
In August 1949, President Harry S. Truman proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day. Since then the President proclaims the commemoration yearly, and encourages all Americans in the country to display the Stars and Stripes outside their homes and businesses. Individual states determine how they will observe the day.
A Flag Day celebration is particularly appropriate for Framingham, Massachusetts, as it was the site of the first factory established for manufacturing the American flag.
For those of you who are still in classrooms on the fourteenth, as we are, Happy Flag Day ... and for those who are already out on vacation, enjoy Flag Day with a salute on your own...
