Today, on Flag Day, we honor the American flag, the symbol of our nation’s freedom, unity, and sacrifice.

As we celebrate Flag Day, let us pause to reflect on the values it represents and the responsibility we share to preserve it. 🇺🇸

On June 12, 1948, President Truman signed the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, giving women a permanent place in our military.
