On #MemorialDay, we pause to remember the American heroes who rest on Luxembourg soil. Their sacrifice forged an unbreakable bond between our nations—one built on shared values, courage, and the fight for liberty. We honor them today and always.

🎉 Celebrating 2026 #EUOpenHouse and #America250 🇪🇺🇱🇺🇺🇸 This year, we celebrated in the unique context of the America250 commemorations. The 🇱🇺 Embassy highlighted the shared Luxembourg–American story through an inspiring exhibition featuring: 1. Bernard J. Cigrand – the “Father of Flag Day”. A Wisconsin school teacher, who first celebrated June 14 with his students in 1885. President Woodrow Wilson made it a nationwide observance in 1916 🇺🇸. 2. Mother Mary Alfred Moes – a healthcare pioneer whose work after the 1883 Rochester tornado helped spark St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota - and eventually the Mayo Clinic 🏥 3. René Arend – yes, the Luxembourg chef behind Chicken McNuggets! 🍗 A huge thank you to Ferrero and Ansay International for helping us share a taste of Luxembourg with the Washington community through culture, food, and drinks. To everyone who joined us—thank you for celebrating! Can’t wait to see you next year 😉 Discover more highlights here: https://bit.ly/4tD4rBD Photo Credits: ©European Union European Union in the United States
