The Continental Congress of the United States, on June 14, 1777, adopted
the first official flag of the United States; and
The Congress of the United States on August 3, 1949, officially designated
June 14th of each year as "National Flag Day"; and
The Congress of the United States on June 20, 1965, adopted a Joint
Resolution approved by the President, to recognize a pause for the Pledge of
Allegiance as part of National Flag Day ceremonies and urged all
Americans to participate; and
The Stars and Stripes have always inspired our men to deeds of valor and
sacrifice in safeguarding our heritage and advancing the cause of world
freedom; and
The City of Milton has always been proud of our National Flag and what it
symbolizes, knowing that it stands for the best that humankind has ever
sought and achieved in the history of this world.
Now, therefore, I, Joe Lockwood as Mayor of the City of Milton, do hereby proclaim our
participation in National Flag Day on June 14, 2015. We invite all of our citizens to join in the
common declaration of faith represented in the words of the Pledge of Allegiance and to pause
during this day to rededicate themselves to the principles and ideals for which our flag stands.
