Flag Day

Happy Flag Day! This holiday commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag. Did you know that the designer of our current flag was a 17-year-old Boy Scout named Robert Heft? What grade do you think he received for this look? A grade of B-minus. His Ohio teacher said the design was unoriginal, but offered to raise it to an A if the design was accepted nationally. So, the boy wrote to his congressman and the rest is history. And yes, he ended up with an A. Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸
