History
The American flag was adopted in 1777 after the Coninental Congress decided to replace the British Grand Union flag with a new design of 13 white stars in a circle and 13 red and white stripes, representing all 13 states. The first annual observance was in June of 1886 by Bernard Cigrand. His effort brought the proclamation made by President Woodrow Wilson as a national observance on June 14, 1916.
