Adding US Flag Flying Holidays to Calendar

Topic

New Reply

I’m using Outlook 2016. Does anyone know of an addin calendar that has all the flag flying holidays for the US? Or am I going to have to customize the built in holiday file to show these particular days?

I think you’ll have to add them yourself. See Add Holidays to Outlook’s Calendar[/url] for more information on adding holidays.

Paul, Yesterday was a good example. It was Pearl Harbor day here in the US. It’s not exactly a holiday but a day of remembrance. The more popular ones are holidays such as Veterans Day, July 4th, and so on. The standard US calendar in Outlook doesn’t denote any particular day as being one to fly the US flag.

Here’s one listing I have found. There are many others; http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us_days.html

Not until you just mentioned it 😎 The article didn’t lead me anywhere but searching for the term “Outlook Interesting Calendars” is proving some leads. Thanks!

Like Easter, many of the dates are whats called a moveable feast so they’re different every year anyway.:)

Thanks for the link. I’m actually flying a Valley Forge flag. I’m not looking for the dates per se but a calendar or addin to Outlook that denotes these particular days. If I can’t find the addin then I can modify the calendar to show them.

As far as the floating holidays, I’ll just have to deal with them individually or make a mental note.

Thanks!

See the link in post #2. There are instructions for adding dates to a holiday file to be used in Outlook.
