Flag Day of Romania
National Flag Day in Romania is celebrated on June 26 every year. The national day was established in 1998. According to the Constitution of Romania, “the flag of Romania is tricolor; the colors are arranged vertically in the following order from the flagpole: blue, yellow, red.” The history of Romania’s national flag can be traced back to 1821, during the Wallachian uprising, when all three colors were featured on the canvas of the revolutionary flag.
International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking
International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking takes place on June 26, as declared by the United Nations. The day is observed annually to determine actions and cooperation to check drug abuse and prevent drug trafficking. The day is supported by individuals, communities, and organizations that work together to rehabilitate those suffering from drug abuse and make sure that no drugs are consumed or traded illegally. Something as simple as sharing resources or information on drug abuse can prevent someone from turning to harmful drugs. This is a life-affirming action that can prevent generations of people from suffering the long-term damages caused by drug abuse.
