June 14 marks the 247th birthday of the United States Army and 245 years of Old Glory flying high.  The U.S. Army is two years older than the U.S. flag.  A resolution of the Continental Congress authorized 10 companies of riflemen on June 14, 1775, to establish the U.S. Army.  Two years later, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act and adopted the stars-and-stripes design as our nation’s flag. In 1949, President Harry Truman signed an act of Congress designating June 14 as National Flag Day.  Learn more about the U.S. Army’s 247th Birthday Celebration at https://www.army.mil/1775/index.html#hpways
