Flag Day Reflections Highlight Stars and Stripes History
A year later overview recalls how the Stars and Stripes evolved from early flags to modern reverence. It notes Fremont's 1842 Pacific Coast expedition altering the flag for peaceful mission symbolism, Custer’s arced swords emblem, and global desecrations before renewed patriotic observance. The piece traces Flag Day origins from 1777 with 13 stripes and 13 stars, Gov. Wilson’s 1916 proclamation, and Truman’s 1949 formal designation. It also highlights Elks involvement and Kansas City ceremonies at Arrowhead Stadium and Royals games.
