Nearly 300 enthusiastic high school students took part in the competition which took place at the Ambassador’s residence where they exhibited the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements of each of the states, in order to convey the message for this year’s theme: “America’s Strength: The Diversity of Its People”. First time participating, this year's high schools were: Gheorghe Lazar (Bucharest), Mihai Viteazul (Bucharest), Nicolae Balcescu (Oltenita), Decebal (Bucharest) and Ion Neculce (Bucharest).

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
You're a grand old flag,

And forever in peace may you wave.

The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
Grand Ole Flag

One of my favorites. This flag was torn to hell from years of use and still flying. Earlier, I complained to the Iraqi soldiers to take it down, but now I'm glad they didn't.

I was standing under this flag (one of very many) at the Rockefeller Center enjoying the afternoon sun and the cool breeze and all I could think of was how much of a melting pot NY actually is. Every direction I look, I see at least 3 to 4 different nationalities represented...what a seriously awesome thing when people who are different in culture, tongue and even belief can sit under the same sun and share such happy times together.
As for the picture, I just thought how amazing the colors looked when struck by the bright sun and how it waved boldly in the strong wind. I didn't know which country it belonged to but I think that's my point....should it really matter? We're all the same..we're all human.
For the curious I looked it up and it happens to be the flag of Mauritius, a small island nation off the coast of the African continent.
A flag is a piece of fabric with a distinctive design that is usually rectangular and used as a symbol, as a signaling device, or decoration.
This was just a small part of the demonstration, in the center of these flags some guys were drumming and chanting, it was pretty cool...
