Today we join in the celebration of U.S. Flag Day, a holiday commemorating the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. As American University Kyiv, we proudly hold two flags, both Ukrainian and American on the tower of AUK Campus, developing ties and being a bridge between the two cultures.
This date is also observed by the U.S. Army as the U.S. Army's birthday.
On the occasion of two holidays, AUK President Dan Rice sent greetings in his video message.
“Today is not the only Flag Day in the United States, it's also the 249th anniversary of the founding of U.S. Army. We certainly appreciate all the support that America has provided to Ukraine. Thank you very much. Happy Flag Day! Happy birthday, U.S. Army!”
