JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – With Memorial Day and Flag Day right around the corner, it’s a good time for a reminder of how to properly handle the American flag.
Before we jump right to it, we want to give you some history on the Stars and Stripes.
The idea of celebrating the flag is believed to have originated in 1885. It started with a school teacher in Wisconsin who wanted to celebrate what was then the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of the Stars and Stripes. Now, we recognize Flag Day every June 14.
