Numerous celebrations and observations followed across the country through the years. In 1907 the BPO Elks Grand Lodge designated June 14 as Flag Day. The Grand Lodge of the Order adopted mandatory observation of the occasion by every Lodge in 1911. Flag Day was officially established by the proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 10, 1916. On August 3. 1949, President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14 of each year as National Flag Day.
