Regional/Cultural Day
Flag Day
The anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes in 1777. In 1916, President Wilson issued a proclamation, and in 1949, Congress established it as National Flag Day. It is not a federal holiday. In Pennsylvania, it is a state holiday, because Betsy Ross lived in Philadelphia and the state takes this personally. In the rest of the country, it is a day that passes without most people noticing.
