Continental Colors and our American Flag
This June 14, the United States celebrates flag day. The details about how our country transitioned from continental colors to our American flag are interesting, from both a historical and social perspective. At American Legion Post 2001, we treat our flags with respect, participating in flag retirement ceremonies and partnering with groups like, Stars for Troops.
Please visit the History.com website for more information. Our post continues to celebrate our rich historical symbolism. Join us and leave a comment or like on our facebook, twitter, and/or instagram pages. We welcome your input and photos of American flags.
