Each year, on June 14, we mark the anniversary of the day in 1777 when the United States adopted the American flag. In honor of this year’s Flag Day, Senator Coons made the following statement.
“As we recognize the stars and stripes of the United States of America, we pause to honor those who have paved our path toward ‘liberty and justice for all. Whenever I recite the Pledge of Allegiance, I am filled with a sense of pride as I reflect on the American flag. The flag represents our history and it is a symbol that unites Americans of all walks of life.”
