How Flag Day Got Its Start

Flag Day is commemorated each year in the United States on June 14. Though Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, it

remains significant, as it dates back to 1777.

The Second Continental Congress formally adopted the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777. That resolution noted certain characteristics of the new flag, including the alternating red and white stripes, which remain part of the flag celebrated each June 14.

Flag Day is one of various notable events and holidays commemorated in June, a list that includes Father’s Day, Juneteenth, and the summer solstice. That can make it easy for Flag Day to get lost in the proverbial shuffle, but the Farmer’s Almanac notes it is customary for the sitting president of the United States to encourage Americans to display the flag outside of their homes and businesses each June 14. The flag is flown from all public buildings on Flag Day, which the Farmer’s Almanac reports is another rich tradition that dates back to 1877 and the centennial of the flag’s adoption.

Lindenhurst VFW Wade-Burns Post 7279 Celebrates 80th Anniversary

The Lindenhurst Veterans of Foreign Wars Wade-Burns Post 7279 recently celebrated its 80th anniversary with an Open House event that included a special ceremony honoring the Post, its Past Commander Thomas A. Kelly, and the Kiwanis Club of Lindenhurst’s “Hometown Heroes” Program.

On May 18, 1946, a group of 50 local overseas combat veterans established the Lindenhurst VFW WadeBurns Post 7279. The Post was proudly named in honor and memory of Lindenhurst servicemen United States Army Corporal John M. “Jack” Wade and United States Navy Seaman First Class Edward J. Burns, who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War II.

Over the last 80 years, Wade-Burns Post 7279 has played a vital role in preserving the memory and sacrifices of America’s veterans through the observance of Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and other

commemorative ceremonies within the Lindenhurst community. The Post has also been a steadfast supporter of veterans, youth organizations, civic initiatives, and charitable causes, including assisting residents and families affected by Hurricane Sandy.

In September 2019, the Post hall, located on North Delaware Avenue, suffered a devastating fire that forced it to close its doors. With assistance from the Village of Lindenhurst and the Town of Babylon, the hall was able to reopen in 2024.

In celebration of its 80th anniversary, the Post held an Open House welcoming the public to enjoy light refreshments while exploring the history of the VFW and viewing the recently renovated hall. The celebration also included a special ceremony recognizing Vietnam veteran Thomas A. Kelly for his five years of dedicated service as Post Commander

(2019–2025) during the hall’s rebuilding effort, as well as the Kiwanis Club of Lindenhurst’s “Hometown Heroes” Banner Program for its inspired implementation and their continued commitment to this patriotic initiative, which has raised and donated more than $200,000 to veterans organizations.

The ceremony also

featured patriotic song selections performed by local musicians Gerry Ferretti and George Formes, as well as a brief history of the founding of the Post presented by Village Historian Anna Jaeger.

Mayor Lavorata said, ““The history of Wade-Burns Post 7279 is deeply woven into the fabric of our community. This anniversary celebration

recognizes not only the bravery of our veterans, but also the countless ways the Post has supported Lindenhurst families and organizations throughout the decades.”

How Flag Day Got Its Start

President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation on June 14, 1916, that designated the day as Flag Day going forward. Thirty-three years after President Wilson’s proclamation, the U.S. Congress officially established June 14 as National Flag Day.

One notable tidbit

Americans can consider this Flag Day is the connection between the flag and seamstress Betsy Ross. Many American schoolchildren were taught that Ms. Ross designed and sewed the first American flag, but historians have since discredited that legend. The Farmer’s Almanac notes that many historians now believe

George Washington already had a design for a flag with 13 red and white alternating stripes and 13 six-pointed stars set in a circle when he visited Ms. Ross in Philadelphia. And while historians do not

doubt that Ms. Ross sewed a flag reflecting the design  George Washington brought with him when visiting the seamstress, it’s hard to confirm if she, in fact, sewed the first flag.
