The Philippine flag features a white triangle symbolizing liberty, equality, and fraternity; a blue stripe for peace, truth, and justice; and a red stripe for patriotism and valor. The golden sun with eight rays represents the first eight provinces that revolted against Spanish rule, while the three stars stand for the country’s three main island groups: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

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)

The Battle of Flamborough Head was a naval battle that took place on 23 September 1779 in the North Sea off the coast of Yorkshire between a combined Franco-American squadron, led by Continental Navy officer John Paul Jones, and two British escort vessels protecting a large merchant convoy. It became one of the most celebrated naval actions of the war, despite its relatively small size and a considerable dispute over what had actually occurred.
----
At the approach of the American ships, the British merchantmen made for the coast while two of the Royal Navy escorts remained to face Jones and the USS Bonhomme Richard. Jones engaged the British frigate HMS Serapis while a French frigate attacked the other British escort. Initially, Jones fought the Serapis at long range with his eighteen-pound cannon. However, one of the guns burst early in the battle.
Fearing that others might be faulty, Jones engaged Serapis at close range. As the ships touched sides, Jones lashed his crippled ship to the British frigate.
After a battle that raged through the night, British commander Richard Pearson asked Jones if he'd had enough. Jones reportedly replied, "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Finally, a fire broke out on Serapis. As fire neared the powder magazine, Captain Pearson was forced to strike his colors. Meanwhile, the Bonhomme Richard had been battered nearly to splinters. With his vessel leaking badly and beyond repair at sea, Jones reluctantly abandoned ship and transferred his crew to the captured Serapis. He then sailed to the Dutch port of Texel, flying a makeshift American flag featuring red, white, and blue stripes. The British ambassador there insisted Jones be arrested as a pirate for flying an unknown flag on a British ship.
The Dutch added a sketch of the flag flying from Serapis into the records, it resembled a design described by Ben Franklin, with four blue stripes interspersed with red and white stripes, and eight-sided stars on the field of blue. Enough provenance to count as a recognized flag of the United States and grant Jones legal passage to into the port.
Historians have noted it is likely Jones used Franklin’s design after losing the Grand Union flag flying from the Bonhomme Richard.
Known as the John Paul Jones flag, the Serapis flag, and even the Ben Franklin flag, was never flown again.

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.

While we were in the Hefei area, we scored a ride in a most unusual car, the Mao era Red Flag.
Stalin presented Mao with five Russian-built limousines in the early 1950s and Mao liked them so much he decided China should build its own. Virtually hand made, the cars sported a red pennant-shaped hood ornament and on the front, a sign with the Chinese characters hongqi, meaning red flag, that was handwritten by Mao himself. Beginning in the 1960s, the Redflag car was designated for the use of Chinese officials with ranks higher than vice-minister and visiting foreign heads of state who were driven to meet the Chairman in these cars.
