Speaking of #flags and the #Danish #Dannebrog in particular, here's one I'm immensely proud of. It's hanging in a secret location in #Kyiv, in the office of an aid organization that helps us provide donated vehicles for the armed forces of #Ukraine.
After completing the 2.000 km drive from #Denmark, volunteer drivers sign the flag in a small ceremony. Usually in a parking spot somewhere in Kyiv, lit by flashlights.
Why? Because fuck you, Putin.
🇩🇰 Since we're celebrating a #birthday, we have raised the flag. Had to take down the pole, put in a new flag line and raise it again, which was a bit of a challenge, given today's rough wind.
I hear we're a bit weird about flags in #Denmark, waiving them obsessively on all occasions. There is nothing religious, right wing or aggressively nationalistic about this - it's all about unity and tradition, and I think it's kind of #nice.
According to the Interwebs, "The #Danish #flag, known as #Dannebrog, is believed to have originated on June 15, 1219, when it reportedly fell from the sky during the Battle of Lyndanisse, aiding King Valdemar II's forces. It is recognized as the oldest continuously used national flag in the world, with its design featuring a white Nordic cross on a red background, symbolizing Christianity"

The oldest national flag in the world still in use.
According to legend, the flag came into Danish possession during the Battle of Lyndanisse in 1219. The Danes were on a failing crusade in Estonia, but after praying to God a flag fell from the sky. After this event, Danish King Valdemar II went on to defeat the Estonians.
Det gør mig dog også trist, at se mange offentlige institutioner i dag ikke flager på halvt frem til middag – som traditionen foreskriver.
Det burde være en selvfølge. #Dannebrog #Respekt
