About Veterans’ Flag Day
Veterans’ Flag Day was introduced in 2009 as a way of acknowledging the contribution of Danish troops in international military operations since 1948.
Dannebrog, as the Danish flag is known, is flown on September 5th to honour the country’s soldiers and others who are stationed abroad, or have been in the past.
The Royal family get involved in the day, with the Crown Prince and Princess taking part in many of the Flag Day events since it began.
