Summary
A White House proclamation set June 14 as Flag Day and the following week as National Flag Week, directing federal buildings to fly the US flag.
The order also urged Americans to display the flag at homes and businesses and to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, framing the observance around national unity and liberty.
June 14 also coincides with Freedom 250, a UFC event scheduled on the White House South Lawn that ties into the 250th anniversary of US independence.
That program is set to include a military-themed presentation and the debut of a Department of War television ad titled “Peace Through Strength,” extending the day’s patriotic and military focus.
The overlapping events fold Flag Day, the semiquincentennial buildup and Trump’s 80th birthday into a single June 14 showcase at the White House.
