Flag Day is a day dedicated to celebrating and honoring the national flag of a country. In the United States, Flag Day is observed on June 14 each year. This date commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. Here are some key points about Flag Day in the United States: History: Flag Day was officially established by President Woodrow Wilson on May 30, 1916, though it wasn't until August 3, 1949, that President Harry S. Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14 as National Flag Day. Observances: While Flag Day is not a federal holiday, it is a state holiday in Pennsylvania. People across the country celebrate by displaying the flag, holding parades, and participating in ceremonies. Schools and organizations often hold educational activities about the history and significance of the flag. Significance: The day serves to promote patriotism and a sense of national unity. It is an opportunity to reflect on the values and history of the United States. Flag Etiquette: On Flag Day, many take the time to learn or review the rules of flag etiquette, including how to display and handle the flag properly. Flag Day is a symbol of national pride and serves as a reminder of the country's heritage and the values the flag represents. #FlagDay #Patriotism #NationalPride

Raising the American flag….. Is not nationalism. It’s our country’s flag in America. Is a representation of the United States. United together in the pride of their country. Is a respect for where we live. Is optional, but is regulated by many laws for specific areas and within the scope of other flags being represented. Raising the American flag used to be an admired concept. If you raise another flag in this country, why do you do it? If you disrespect the American flag, why do you do it? If you hate the symbol for which the American flag represents, why do you hate it? If you have an answer to any of these questions, why are you proud of your freedom to speak freely?

Flags. Since encountering this one at an excellent performance this week flags have been on my mind alot. In part because of my response to being confronted by this prominent one (ambivalent). Flags invariably have a potent symbolism. But what exactly do they symbolise? And to whom? Perhaps pride in a sports team; part of our community or personal identity; a safe haven. Often a rallying point for a cause. They can be perceived in different ways. For many the rainbow 🌈 flag is benign. A symbol of hope, inclusion and solidarity. For others it provokes hostility, oppression and persecution. National flags have myriad meanings. They may represent power (whether current or historical); unity - perhaps after conflict; values or tenets of a political system. Allegiance to a national flag may be a joyful rite of passage to citizenship; or a coercive tool. Context is key. Understanding symbols and our response to them is a theme that comes up regularly in my coaching practice. What do flags mean to you? What are your cherished symbols?
