As many of you are aware, Flag Day is my favorite holiday and favorite day of the year. I love this time of year and have loved Flag Day since I was very little. And the weather is always beautiful on June 14. Sunny and 75 today!!
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of our flag by the continental congress on this date in 1777. In 1916, President Wilson proclaimed June 14 Flag Day, and a congressional act in 1949 made today National Flag Day. However, it is not an observed federal holiday. Fun fact: Pennsylvania is the only state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday.
I was downtown at an event with old work friends last week when we ran into "Da Coach." Here is a picture of my friend (and Muddy Buddy partner) Linda with one of her idols.
