Why Is Flag Day Celebrated , How To Celebrate Flag Day. The history of Flag Day celebration goes back to June 14, 1777 when for the first time the American flag was acknowledged by the Continental Congress. Flag Day celebration thereafter continued for nearly two hundred years by flying flags on the top of public buildings and by commemorating the event in various cities.
And in 1949, President Harry Truman signed legislation designating June 14 of each year as National Flag Day. Though Flag Day is not a federal holiday, the U.S. government encourages its citizens to display Old Glory outside of their homes and businesses. The tradition is not widely observed, however.
