This Sunday is Flag Day and many area homes and businesses will be displaying the stars and stripes on buildings and flagpoles. Kewaunee County Veterans Officer Robert Stearns says the American flag and Flag Day both carry a special meaning for veterans. He says despite the restrictions still in place for large gatherings, the flag still represents coming together as a nation.
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777. President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day back in 1916.
