Flag Day is celebrated in the United States on June 14th. The date was chosen in 1777 to honor the American flag, representing the country's independence and unity. The American flag has 13 horizontal stripes representing the original 13 colonies, while the stars symbolize the 50 states of the Union. The colors also have deep meaning: red symbolizes hardiness, white represents purity, and blue signifies perseverance and justice.
