United States citizens are gearing up to celebrate the country’s symbol of freedom, the American Flag, on June 14. Along with Flag Day, Americans will also salute the 250th year of the US Army. It will be marked with US President Donald Trump’s military parade in downtown Washington, D.C.

Tim Walz is praying for rain to drown out our military. He also said we should look to China for a higher moral authority. This is the man who almost became Vice President.

According to the Smithsonian, a flag resolution was adopted on June 14, 1777. It stated, “Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”

But it was only after more than 100 years that the Flag Day was observed as the national flag of the US.

In May 1916, then-President Woodrow Wilson declared June 14 to be marked as Flag Day. Since then, people in the country have honored the adoption of the stars and stripes in different ways, like carrying it in parades or by displaying it at patriotic events.

The United States Army was founded in 1775 by the Second Continental Congress and is the oldest service of the United States military.

Originally formed to protect the freedom of the first 13 colonies, the Army has evolved into the world’s premier fighting force. The military history of the United States spans over two centuries. It fought for independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain and it now fights as a world superpower.

The Last National Parade to Honor Our Military, 1991

In 1991, America said thank you to our heroes. The majority of people still love their country, but are afraid to show it. One party compares patriotism to Hitlerism.

We need to thank these service members and be proud.

Today’s Parade Will Be Live at 6 pm.

Sorry, but the American flag is the flag of Tyranny, not freedom. People need to understand what it is. Please take a minute this “flag day” to start your search for freedom. Here is a good starting point….
