  • Today is FLAG DAY! Celebrating the adoption of the flag by the second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. President Woodrow Wilson, on May 30, 1916, issued a presidential proclamation declaring June 14 to be National Flag Day.
  • Today is also the birthday of the U.S. Army, which was first established by the Continental Congress back in 1775 to fight against the British during the American Revolutionary War. Throughout its history, the U.S. Army has played a vital role in protecting the security and interests of the United States, both domestically and abroad. Happy birthday to our Army vets and THANK YOU for your service!
