American Samoa: Happy Flag Day! Today marks the 125th Anniversary of American Samoa becoming a treasured part of the United States, and our Great American Flag has flown over the Islands ever since.

The Chiefs who first chose to raise the Stars and Stripes over Samoa gave their descendants the greatest gift of all, the gift of being part of the Greatest Country in the History of the World.

We are truly proud of the contributions that American Samoa makes to our Nation. You have served in our Military, enriched our Culture, and excelled in Athletics, Art, and Business. I am proud to be the first President ever to name an American Samoan to my Cabinet, our incredible Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

Your beautiful Islands are a beloved part of the United States. Congratulations on this Historic Milestone. Happy Flag Day, and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
