Today, Jackson Township recognizes Flag Day and honors the history and symbolism of the United States flag. 🇺🇸
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the first official American flag, creating a lasting symbol of freedom, unity, and the enduring spirit of our nation.
The 50 stars represent the states united together, while the 13 stripes honor the original colonies that fought for independence. Through times of challenge and triumph, the American flag has stood as a reminder of the sacrifices made to preserve the liberties we enjoy today.
As we celebrate Flag Day, we encourage our community to reflect on the values our flag represents and proudly display the Stars and Stripes.
Happy Flag Day from the Jackson Township Trustees and Staff.
