Dutch collector donates D-Day flag to the United States

A month after celebrating the 75th anniversary of D-Day, a Dutch collector gives America a gift with historical significance.

Yesterday at the White House Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte presented President Donald Trump that gift.

Rutte presented Trump with an American flag that was on the first U.S. ship to land in Normandy as part of the D-Day invasion that occurred on June 6, 1944 during World War II. The bullet-riddled flag was purchased at an auction three years ago by Dutch collector Bert Kreuk, who later felt compelled to return the flag to the U.S.
