Celebrating Flag Day in Canadian

Body
Canadian Rotarians sprang into action early Tuesday morning to line Main Street with American flags, in observance of Flag Day. The holiday commemorates the date in 1777 when the Second Continental Congress paused in their writing of the Articles of Confederation to pass a resolution, stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and that “the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” Over 100 years later, in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially establishing June 14 as Flag Day.
