Since then the President proclaims the commemoration yearly, and encourages all Americans in the country to display the Stars and Stripes outside their homes and businesses. Individual states determine how they will observe the day. In Pennsylvania and American Samoa it is a public holiday. Usually the flag is flown from all public buildings, speeches are made in public places and ceremonies take place in towns or cities Sources: http://stockholm.usembassy.gov/Holidays/celebrate/flagday.

Today, June 14th, is also Flag Day. In 1777 the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution to adopt the U S Flag. In 1916 President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14th officially as Flag Day. And in August 1949 Flag Day was officially established by an Act of Congress. Sources: http://tankerbabelc985.vox.com/library/post/happy-army-birthday-and-flag-day.html?

The celebration of Flag Day has roots to 1885, but it did not get national recognition until 1916 when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14th as Flag Day. Then in 1949, President Harry Truman signed an Act of Congress making June 14 officially National Flag Day.
