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.

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.

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.

The local Girl Scouts, American Legion, and fire company also participated.
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.''
