Flag Day
Flag Day recognized the day we accepted out flag, June 14, 1977. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. (Wikipedia)

The Betsy Ross flag initially added stars and stripes for each state. The stars were in a field of blue in a circle. Now there is a star for each state and thirteen stripes for the original colonies. The colors for the flag did not have meanings when it was originally made.
