What is National Flag Day?
On June 14th, National Flag Day honors Old Glory and commemorates the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777. The holiday is a day in the United States Flag and what it represents. The Star-Spangled Banner has been a prominent symbol of Americanism and unity, and the flag has flown proudly.

Although Betsy Ross has been lauded for stitching together the first American flag, there isn't any concrete evidence to back up the tale. At the same time, there aren't any to disprove it. Multiple designs were in play at the same time, which is part of the conflict. Many flag designers were involved, but more than one claimed to the first was claimed by many flag designers, with more than one claiming to be the first. Several standards were introduced during Ross' Revolutionary period, bearing red and white stripes and various symbols where the blue field and stars now reside.
Francis Hopkinson was another one who owed to the first design. His request for compensation for his artwork was denied because some contributed to the final design.
The flag's style has been officially updated 26 times since 1777. The 48-star flag had been in place for 47 years, for the first 47 years. The 49-star version of 1959, the 1959-19-star version, became official on July 4. On August 21, 1959, President Eisenhower ordered the 50-star flag to be unveiled.
