The Healing Field in Cannonsburg, Michigan is a tribute to the lives lost on 9/11 from the terror attacks.
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.

We track flags by user on Metafilter -- when someone has a comment or post that is flagged, it goes into a db table that we keep around for posterity, and on the per-user admin pages the site generates for us we can see those flags in reverse chronological order, as well as a graph summing up the last year or so of flagging activity directed at that user's content.
This is where I've been flagged over the last year, in graph form, as well the beginning of the canonical list of flags. (You can see that I've been flagged a total of 402 times in the 10+ years I've been on the site, which is a pretty solid stack in fact, but I'm also an extremely active user and, as a mod, unusually visible.)
I've blurred the names of the folks doing the flagging, but you can see that each line item tells us what sort of content it was, what the db id is, what the flag was, and who flagged. The widgets off to the right can be used to manage flag visibility on the admin flag management screens but we rarely use them on this screen specifically.
When the night
Seems to say
All hope is lost
Gone away
But I know
I'm not alone
By the light
She stands
There she waves
Faithful friend
Shimmering stars
Westward wind
Show the way
Carry me
To the place
She stands
Just when you think it might be over
Just when you think the fight is gone
Someone will risk his life to raise her
There she stands
There she flies
Clear blue sky
Reminds us with red
Of those that died
Washed in white
By the brave
In their strength
She stands
When evil calls itself a martyr
When all your hopes come crashing down
Someone will pull her from the rubble
There she stands
We've seen her flying torn and tattered
We've seen her stand the test of time
And through it all the fools have fallen
There she stands
By the dawns
Early light
And through the fight
She stands
"There She Stands"

Soldiers from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), along with service members from the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Coast Guard, place U.S. flags at every gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery as part of Flags-In, Arlington, Va., May 26, 2022.
On this day, over 1,000 service members placed flags at more than 250,000 headstones and at the bottom of about 7,000 niche rows at Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery.

The first game of the World Series. The "Rocket" on the mound. The beers on ice. The chips and dips are made. The halloween parties are on hold. This is going to be good. Everyone remember to breath. Go 'Stros!!!
The flag symbolises the islands' Scottish and Norwegian heritage. The colours red and yellow are from the Scottish and Norwegian Royal coats of arms. The blue is taken from the flag of Scotland and also represents the sea and the maritime heritage of the islands.
