🎉 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

🇺🇸🇱🇺 Honoring Heroes. Remembering Sacrifice. Celebrating Friendship. During their visit to New York City 🗽, H.R.H. the Grand Duke and Minister Xavier Bettel made a meaningful stop at the Luxembourg House to pay tribute to four incredible American WWII veterans — Joe Landry, Sydney Levit, Frank Stellar and Russell Sattazahn — whose bravery helped defend Luxembourg during the Battle of the Bulge. In one of the largest and deadliest battles ever fought on European soil, American troops stood shoulder to shoulder with local communities — defending families, towns, and the freedoms we all hold dear. Their courage didn’t just shape history — it became part of Luxembourg’s story, a legacy that still lives on in the hearts of its people. At a time when the world faces new challenges, their legacy is a reminder of what true courage, resilience, and sacrifice look like. It’s a legacy that continues to strengthen the unbreakable bond between the United States and Luxembourg — rooted in shared values, unity, and a friendship that spans generations. 🇺🇸🤝🇱🇺 We remember and honor — with gratitude. #WWIIHeroes #BattleOfTheBulge #veterans #LuxembourgUSA Cour Grand-Ducale U.S. Embassy Luxembourg Battle of the Bulge Association, Inc. 📷Credits: Russ Rowland + Maison du Grand-Duc
