Every June 14th, the United States celebrates Flag Day. This annual holiday commemorates the adoption of the US flag which is known for its stars and stripes as well as its colors of red, white, and blue. President Woodrow Wilson was the first to acknowledge Flag Day in 1916. Congress made it official several decades later in 1949. Although it is not an official federal holiday, Pennsylvania became the first and only state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday.
