Today is Flag Day!

June 14, 2008

Flag Day – the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 – was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in many communities for years after President Wilson’s proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.

Coronado is a patriotic little city and flags can be seen flying all over town.  Go to WelcomeToCoronado.com for a slide show of Patriotic Coronado
