Back to School - Flag Day
February 15 is National Flag of Canada Day. It marks the day in 1965 when our red and white maple leaf flag was first raised over Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and hundreds of communities across Canada.

Re: Back to School - Flag Day
Belated Happy Flag Day to our American neighbors!
 How do you feel about your flag, everyone? Does it incite pride in your heart? Do you like the flag of your Country? What is the history of your flag? |

Flag of the Netherlands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As much as the Dutch hate to admit it, they have the French to thank for the current flag. Interestingly enough, there were two designs (although not that different) that were being "the official flag" concurrently until 1937.
