Flag Day

Bucky?
Mmm?
We've been pranked?
Uh...
I think Tony got in her somehow ... with a whole lotta US flag.
Stevie, all I care about is where my covers went....
Sorry, Buck.  I guess I'll just pull up some stars for you.
Yeah. We'll plot to get Tony back later.

For friends in other countries, June 14 is a day in the US which is special for displaying the Stars and Stripes. Not sure how it is different from all other days, and seeing as how July 4 is right around the corner, you can imagine that flag-themed paraphernalia are everywhere right about now.  :P

The reason it is Flag Day is that this was the day in 1777 when the flag was commissioned/adopted by the Second Continental Congress.

True. It's just funny in this day and age, that it is so close to July 4th, when we focus on displaying the flag everywhere. So it's kind of like Flag Day is a lead up or warm up day to the 4th. :)

I bet it looks very festive!

So you have something on 14th June as well as 4th July? How odd. We don't have anything like either day - the closest we get to some sort of flag day is St George's Day, but since that's been highjacked by the BNP and the ultra right, most people are either indifferent or uncomfortable with any flag waving! Plus that's just England, the other nations have their own days (St David's, St Andrew's etc)
