To celebrate Flag Day on June 13, for the 8th straight year the U.S. Embassy's Public Diplomacy Section organized a competition with high school students to develop depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia. 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). The winners received American books, music and movies (Lucian Crusoveanu / Public Diplomacy Office)

I loved the movie about the planting of the flag: (http://www.flagsofourfathers.com/) and so was keen to visit the Iwo Jima Marine Memorial in Arlington. The sun was against us, but I loved the movement of the flag, so took rather a lot of pictures.
The weird thing you notice about rural Iowa (or rural anywhere, really) is the way they aren't shy about waving around a confederate flag. In the city, people seem to shun it due to its racist connotations...
