In 1859, the United States and Great Britain almost started a war over which country could claim the island. Fortunately, no bullets were ever fired by the armies, and the only casualty was a pig.
Flag Day is already a well-known and beloved competition among students from five high schools in Bucharest, organized by the Public Diplomacy Section. Participating for the first time, this year’s high schools (Mihai Eminescu, Nicolae Iorga, C.A. Rosetti, Mihail Sadoveanu and Dimitrie Paciurea) developed depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia.
Held in the Embassy’s courtyard for the first time, the 150 students exhibited the displays they created to illustrate representative elements for each of the states, all related to the history, culture and language of the Native Americans. The winners received American books and stationary and had a fun pizza picnic on the lawn.

Huge mexican flag pole like 150 mts high in Ensenada, Baja California, México.
There is a gigantic flag attached to it, and a nice coast promenade,very wide, you can take your lady with you or kids and have a boat ride along the bay or just sit and enjoy the view, buy something to munch and relax.
To celebrate Flag Day, the U.S. Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section brought nearly 300 high school students to the Ambassador’s residence to exhibit the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements for a particular U.S. state – and the District of Columbia. Although the high schools participating this year were at their first experience, the tradition of elaborate projects was very well kept.
At this 7th edition on June 14 (the actual Flag Day celebration!), Embassy judges awarded prizes in the following categories: Best Overall – Rhode Island (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”); Runner Up Best Overall – Ohio (Liceul “George Calinescu”); Most Creative/Original – Maine (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Represents the State Best – Florida (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Most Informative/Educational – Virginia (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Most Fun – West Virginia (Colegiul German Goethe); Most Detailed – Iowa (Scoala Superioara Comerciala “N. Kretzulescu”); Best Presentation – Kansas (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”); Most Attractive – Arkansas (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”) and People’s Choice, in which the participants voted Maine (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”) as their favorite.
The winners received American books, music and movies. All students then enjoyed pizza and sodas on the residence lawn.
