In 1916 Woodrow Wilson established June 14th as FLAG DAY.

As all of us know, the first American Flag was stitched by Betsy Ross in 1776 with 13 stars representing the 13 colonies. The 50th star was added on August 1959 when Hawaii became a state. If you would like to see the growth of the stars to our American Flag and learn more, you can do so HERE.
There is protocol when displaying the American Flag; the American Flag should be flown above all others and no other flag is to be hung above or to the right of the American Flag. The only exception would be at the United Nations headquarters.
Do you suppose no one in the Biden administration knows Flag protocol? Or is it something else? Somehow I feel guilty even posting this next photo as it is so disrespectful to our Flag. But in case you don't know what I'm referring to here it is.
God Bless America.
P.S. For those of you who want to remind me there was a U.S. Flag atop the White House, the fact still remains those three flags broke protocol. The American Flag still should have been displayed higher than the middle flag plus the pride flag was a flag to the right. All broken protocols regardless if an American Flag may have been above the White House. Let us not forget the disgrace of the trans person fondling themselves in front of the WH and on the WH lawn.
