Vexillophilia wishes you a very happy Estonian National Flag Day! Three cheers for the sinimustvalge!
Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky: Hats off! The flag is passing by." -- Henry Holcomb Bennett
I've been meaning to say (I don't think I've gotten around to writing up a comment yet) that all of the classes in my son's grade recently voted on which country they wanted to "be" for their school's Olympic Day. I know in The Boy's class, the three finalists were Canada (the good ol' maple leaf), Italy (I suspect as the home of pizza more than because of the flag), and Wales (probably The. Best. Flag. ever).
ReplyDeleteI will try to remember to mention Estonia to him next year as having a handsome flag and being a Most Favored Nation, but I'm not sure how far it will go.
