Flag DayJune 14, 2020

Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the U.S. flag on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. It stated: "The flag of the 13 United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. In 1916, Pres. Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation officially establishing Flag Day, and in 1949, an Act of Congress established National Flag Day. The U.S. Army also celebrates its birthday on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental army" on June 14, 1775.

Independence DayJuly 4, 2020

Independence Day — also known by its date, the Fourth of July — is an American holiday commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence here in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared the 13 colonies were no longer part of Britain and were united, free, and independent states. The Congress had voted to declare independence on July 2, but it was not declared until July 4. Look for fireworks, parades, barbecues, concerts, family get-togethers and other ceremonies.
