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.
