@keillitravelista: The U.S. flag is 249 years old as of June 14, 2026, counting from its official adoption on June 14, 1777 by the Second Continental Congress. That date marks the creation of the first official “Stars and Stripes,” making June 14, 2027 its 250th anniversary. The United States has had 27 official versions of the flag since the first Stars and Stripes was adopted in 1777. That number comes from every time the flag’s design was officially changed — almost always due to the addition of new states, which required adding stars. As The United States of America heads into her 250 birthday, we saw fit to buy ourselves a new flag to celebrate this momentous occasion. Happy Flag Day 🇺🇸 #GodBlessAmerica #LandOfTheFree #RedWhiteAndBlue #UnitedStates #ProudAmerican 🇺🇸✨
