| FLAG STORY |
 |
|
The Tunisian flag was legislated in Constitution
in 1959 and its
proportions
and design were
clearly specified into Law in 1999. However, it was
adopted back in the early 1830's, making it one of
the world's oldest flags.
The first Tunisian flag ever to fly at the Tunisian
Mission to the United
Nations in New York
was actually "Made In The USA". Furthermore, it
is still in existence and in the possession of the
Tunisian Community Center, thanks to former Peace
Corps Volunteer in Tunisia, Phil Akre.
The following in-person interview with Phil,
conducted by TCC Cultural Director Jihane Ben
Khedher, tells the story. A story that could well
serve
as a
metaphor for the enduring
friendship between Tunisia and the United States.
