Americans will observe Flag
Day on" June IA for the 63rd year.
First designated for United States
observance in 1895, Flag Day,
although not a National holiday,
is observed throughout the Unit
ed States and possessions.
The first American flag desig-
mated by Congress was flown on
June IA, 1777. Mrs, Elizabeth
Griscom Ross, known throughout
American history as Betsy Ross,
was the first to suggest i've
pointed star for the banner
adopted by Congress in 1777. In
1874 when Vermont and Ken
lucky were admitted to the I'm
ion, Congress added two more
stars and stripes. Then in 1915
the original 10 stripes were re-
stored, to remain unchanged
AS each State was adj
mitted to the Union, another star
was added until today there are
48 on the field of blue. If Alaska
is admitted as a State Of the
Union, next year there will be
49, stars.
