In the northern hemisphere (where Alamogordo, New Mexico is situated) the day with the longest period of daylight in a 24-hour period is the Summer Solstice. This usually occurs on June 21st and it is also the first day of summer.

Yes and no, in the Northern Hemisphere June 21st is the longest day of the year but June 21st is also the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.
