Every year, the week of June 14 is designated as “National Flag Week.” During National Flag Week, the president usually issues a proclamation urging U.S. citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week in honor of their patriotic love for the ‘land of the free’ and the ‘home of the brave’. The flag is often displayed on all government buildings, while parades and events in celebration of America’s national flag and everything it represents are held across the country.
