A TRIBUTE TO OUR DANISH BROTHERS IN ARMS

Denmark is one of the countries that answered the call to free Iraq. Seven Danish soldiers - out of a contingent of 450 - have now been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 — four of them by roadside bombs.

Every Fourth of July, Danes and Americans gathered in the heather covered hills of Rebild to celebrate the American Independence Day and to promote the friendship between the USA and Denmark.The Rebild Celebration has its roots back to 1912 and Denmark is the only country outside of the United States to publicly celebrate the American Independence day.

Here's a video tribute to our allies,


This post is dedicated to my Father, who was born in Hjorring, Denmark in 1906 and would have been 101 years old this past month. He loved his adopted country, but never forgot the place of his birth.
