Governor Patrick Morrisey has signed proclamations recognizing June 14th, 2025 as the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday and Flag Day. On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the formation of the Continental Army to fight for independence in the Revolutionary War. Two years later, in 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the original Flag of the United States. The State of West Virginia honors this day and commemorates those who have served their country and sacrificed so much for the ideals represented by the Flag of the United States.
