Flag Day This day for patriotic observance commemorates June 14, 1777 when the Stars and Stripes was adopted by the Continental Congress. Inspired by three decades of state and local celebrations in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Flag Day was officially established by a proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. After this proclamation, it was celebrated in communities for years until it became a national day of observance; on August 3rd, 1949, President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.

Summer Solstice First Day of Summer
Father’s Day A day to honor one’s father and all men who act as father figures, it is observed on the third Sunday in June according to a presidential proclamation signed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966. Father’s Day was first proposed in 1901 by a Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington who wanted to honor her father who had been left a widower and had raised six children. The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. Around that time in cities and towns across American other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day." In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. |
