American Flag Association.

The “American Flag association” was organized February 17, 1898, its motto being: “One flag, one country, one God over all.” Its object is to secure “National* and state legislation for the protection of the flag from degrading and desecrating uses.” and to secure a general observance of June 14 as “Flag Day,” because on that day, in 1777, congress adopted the present United States flag—the Stars and Stripes.
