BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the followers in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to recognize June 14 which the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes as ‘Flag Birthday.’ In numerous magazines and newspaper reports and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the devotion of June 14 as ‘Flag Birthday,’ or ‘Flag Day.’  

By following the presentation of Colonel J Granville Leach at the time historian of the Pennsylvania Society, the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames on April 25, 1893, affirmed a resolution demanding the mayor of Philadelphia and administration and all private citizens to display the Flag on June 14th. Leach went on to recommend that after that the day is known as ‘Flag Day,’ and on that day, school children collected for appropriate activities, with each child given a small Flag.
