One of his items was “The Recognition and Meaning of Flag Day” He wrote a widely distributed pamphlet on “Laws and Customs Regulating the use of the Flag of the United States.”

Bernard J. Cigrand was first and foremost an American patriot. From the 1880s through the 1930s, he preached respect and honor for the nation and its flag. In June 1886 he made his first public proposal for the annual observance of the birth of the flag when he wrote an article titled “The Fourteenth of June” in the old Chicago Argus newspaper. In the years that followed, Cigrand authored hundreds of other magazine and newspaper articles advocating recognition of the June 14th adoption of the Stars and Stripes.
