🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸

In honor of this day, we’re sharing three fun facts about those familiar stars and stripes:

⭐ The current flag was created in 1958 by Robert G. Heft, an Ohio high school student who submitted his design as part of a class project. (He got a B-.) It was eventually chosen by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

⭐ The "Old Glory" nickname for the U.S. flag originated from a sea captain named William Driver, who flew an American flag on his ship that he affectionately referred to as "Old Glory."

⭐ Popular legend says that Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag at the request of George Washington. However, this story is widely regarded as more folklore than fact.
