Here are the details about our flag exchange<\/h2>\n

Please join us for our FREE<\/strong> flag exchange event. From June 9-13, bring your tattered U.S. flag (please no other flags) to our office and exchange for a new 3\u2032 x 5\u2032 U.S. flag.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT NOTE #1- Flags are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. We CANNOT hold flags. <\/p>\n

    What is Flag Day?<\/h2>\n

    On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that \u201cthe flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white\u201d and that \u201cthe union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation\u201d (13 is for the original 13 colonies).<\/p>\n

    In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson, marked the anniversary of this resolution by establishing June 14 as Flag Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    In 1949, Congress permanently established the date as National Flag Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    The week of June 14 is called National Flag Week and all Americans are encouraged to fly U.S. flags during that week. <\/p>\n
