Organizations Filed Purposes:
PROVIDE EDUCATION AND EVENTS CONCERNING THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN FLAG, MEMORIALIZE BERNARD J. CIGRAND AND TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN A MONUMENT CELEBRATING PATRIOTISM AND THE AMERICAN FLAG AND TO PROVIDE PATRIOTIC DISPLAYS.
TO CREATE A MONUMENT TO FLAG DAY THAT WILL BE ENJOYED BY EVERYONE INTERESTED IN OUR HISTORY
FLAG DAY IS CELEBRATED EVERY YEAR ON JUNE 14TH IN PARADES AND FESTIVALS TO HONOR THE AMERICAN FLAG. IN 1885, DR. BERNARD CIGRAND, A DENTIST FROM BATAVIA, ILLINOIS, HELD WHAT'S BELIEVED TO BE THE FIRST RECOGNIZED FLAG DAY, WHICH BEGAN A LIFELONG QUEST TO ESTABLISH A FORMAL HOLIDAY. WOODROW WILSON ISSUED A PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION CALLING FOR A JUNE 14 COMMEMORATION IN 1916, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 1949, 16 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF THE CIGRAND, THE "FATHER OF FLAG DAY," THAT CONGRESS PASSED LEGISLATION AS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY. IT IS NOT, HOWEVER, A FEDERAL HOLIDAY. WE ARE BUILDING A MONUMENT THAT IS BEFITTING THE STARS AND STRIPES, AND CELEBRATES THE COUNTRY THAT IT HAS PRESIDED OVER SINCE 1777.
