All Americans know what the American flag looks like. Most of us pledged allegiance to it every day before school. It’s one of America’s greatest patriotic symbols. And it’s also the subject of our national anthem.

It is so important that a whole day was set aside for it. The American flag was formally adopted on June 14, 1777. Since 1885, June 14 has been known as Flag Day.
