I found out late in the day that I, in fact, didn't miss Flag Day. Yes, it's true that the U.S. celebrates flag day on June 14th and I did miss that. June 15th happens to be Flag Day in Denmark and lo and behold, I was here to see it. Of course, I had no idea that today was Flag Day until my aunt, who is a crack librarian, sent me an email to remind me :-)
There is a nice story about the significance of the Danish flag. Here it is:
The Danish flag "Dannebrog" is the oldest flag in the World. It came out of the sky in the year 1219 at June 15, during King Valdemar´s fight in Estonia
