This law names June 14 as Flag Day. It asks the President to issue a yearly proclamation about it. That proclamation would call for flying the flag and marking the 1777 adoption of the Stars and Stripes.

(a) Designation. June 14 is Flag Day. (b) Proclamation. The President is requested to issue a proclamation each year that does two things: (1) calls on U.S. government officials to fly the American flag on all government buildings on Flag Day; and (2) urges the people of the United States to observe Flag Day as the anniversary of June 14, 1777 — the day the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official U.S. flag.
