Rep. Harris Statement on Flag Day

Statement

Rep. Andy Harris has issued the following statement in commemoration of Flag Day, which celebrates the adoption of the flag of the United States by resolution of the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777.

"The American Flag is among the world's most recognized symbols of liberty. From thirteen stars to fifty, the red, white and blue has been from the bloody beaches of Normandy to the surface of the moon. It flies over the White House in Washington, D.C. and the little white house down the street. Through thick and thin, good times and bad, Old Glory's broad stripes and bright stars have embodied the spirit of the American people; it has persevered."
