Today in History, a resolution was made that the American flag would be one that would have 13 alternate stripes of red and white, and that the Union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation. The name of this new flag was the 'Stars and Stripes'. In 1949, Congress officially designated June 14th as 'Flag Day'.
