Thought that had already been done? Truman?
When we understand that each day isn’t one more day, but one less, we’ll start giving more value to the things that truly matter.

Yes, no.

The tradition of designating June 14 as a national observance predates Truman. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation designating June 14 as “National Flag Day” to honor the adoption of the U.S. flag by the Second Continental Congress in 1777.

President Harry S. Truman signed an Act of Congress on August 3, 1949, that recognized June 14 as Flag Day, making it legal.

Yesterday, President Donald Trump added National Flag Week to the observance of Flag Day.

Kind of silly - let's make it a whole month.....or all year round....
