Flag Day 2010

Today is Flag Day. Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States of America in 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.

Flag Day is a big deal in my town. The annual Flag Day Ceremony each year at the Town Common starts the official Bristol Fourth of July Celebration. The Annual Fourth of July Celebration, established in 1785, is the oldest continuous Fourth of July celebration in the United States.

Here is a picture I took of my flag a few summers ago.
