Answer/Explanation: On June 14, 1861 the Stars and Stripes first flew in a Flag Day celebration in Hartford, Connecticut the first summer of the Civil War. On June 14, 1877, we had the first national observance of Flag Day on the centennial of the original flag resolution. Then the advocacy for making this the "official" Flag Day began.
