Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 12043 hosted a Flag Day ceremony Wednesday morning, with help from Boy Scout Troop 993 at Maricopa Veterans Center. It was the 240th anniversary of the adoption of the U.S. flag, which has remained essentially the same (with notable additions as the country grew) since 1777, when the Second Continental Congress passed the flag resolution, “That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”
