The winners received American books, music and movies. All students then enjoyed pizza and sodas on the residence lawn.

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.

Mikó József (híradó és rövidfilm operatőr) Vecsés, 1920. augusztus 6 – Los Angeles, CA, USA 2008. április 28 ---Mikó József hiradó és rövidfilm-operatőr felvétele. A felvétel 1956. október 23-án délután 4 óra körül készült a Margít híd korlátjától, a szigeti bejárónál. Itt készült először felvétel a lyukas zászlóról, melyből már Pesten kivághatták a Rákosi címert. Forrás: A Margit-hídon Buda felé - www.magyaroktober.hu/terkep (hozzáférés: 2017.01.27)
Mikó József híradó- és rövidfilm-operatőr volt itthon. 1956. október 23-án egy színes kisfilm, A zsarnok medve utóforgatásáról hazatérőben (a Budafoki út közelében lakott) szembetalálkozott a Műegyetem felvonulóival. Mivel a munkához minden – gép, nyersanyag, segédoperatőre, sőt még a stábautó is – együtt volt, kezébe vette a kamerát, és úgyszólván le sem tette 1956. novemberéig. Az eseményeket követve sorra járta a forradalom helyszíneit, és igyekezett mindent dokumentálni. Sok drámai felvételt készített, egykori kollégái szerint mindenkinél többet. Egy-egy tekercsre két perc körüli mozgóképet lehetett rögzíteni. Nem Mikó volt az egyetlen operatőr, aki filmre vette az eseményeket, de minden bizonnyal az ő stábautójukban volt a legtöbb nyersanyag. A felvétel a Margit hídon, Budapesten készült. A felvonulók Pestről vonulnak Buda felé át a hídon. Mikó felvételén az a pillanat látható, amikor először lehet látni a lyukas zászlót, a magyar felkelés szimbólumát. Mikó az előhívott filmtekercseket különösebb rendszerezés nélkül, sebtében dobozokba zárta, egy hátizsákba gyömöszölve kivitte a budapesti Könyves Kálmán körúti filmgyárból, a családja segítségével rejtegette, majd apósán keresztül, az amerikai nagykövetség pártfogásával részletekben Nyugatra juttatta. Mikónak 1956. novemberében menekülnie kellett Magyarországról. Feleségén, kisfián és a legszükségesebb holmikon kívül csupán a még nála maradt két filmes dobozt vitte magával. Már Bécsben voltak, amikor megtudta, hogy a szovjetek megtalálták és elkobozták filmjeinek egy másolatát, amelyet a filmstúdió széfjében őrzött. A felvételeket a felkelők azonosítására használták fel. Filmjeit és fényképeit az egész világon felhasználták: CBS: A XX. század (dokumentumfilm), History Channel: A szabadság vihara (Freedom’s Fury) című amerikai dokumentumfilm, Kovács Klaudia: A lyukas zászló (Torn from the Flag) című ’56-os dokumentum filmje.

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.
the american flag and pow*mia flag reflected in the pool at the korean war veterans memorial in washington dc.
The first Flag of the United States that was originally called the ''Grand Union Flag'' before the adoption of the more iconic ''Stars and Stripes Flag.'' Yes I am aware that the Union Jack of the United Kingdom in the canton is not accurate as the original flag did not have the additional red saltire of Saint Patrick.
I had just simply drew this flag about a few days ago while I was watching some AlternateHistoryHub videos on YouTube. This flag could also be mistaken for the Flag of the East India Company that has a flag that is almost identical to the ''Grand Union Flag.''

On a cloudy Berlin day we sit outside our hotel, the Alexander Plaza, waiting for friends to turn up. The hotel flag - why exactly do hotels have flags, anyway? - dances in the slow ambling wind next to the German flag, and in the background the Fernsehturm glistens in a flat blank intense light that nearly qualifies as a bit of sun.
The Fernsehturm, or TV Tower, is a central landmark of East Berlin, and in many ways it remains a symbol of the whole city. At 368 meters it's the second highest structure in Europe, after Moscow's Ostankino Tower, and it towers over Alexanderplatz.
In the early 90's I lived in Berlin Mitte near the Fernsehturm, and I've been entranced by it ever since.
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.
