German American Day
Today, 6 October, is German-American day.
It commemorates the founding of Germantown, PA, in 1683.
Which is actually sort of funny as Germantown wasn’t even really founded by Germans. It was the Dutch.
It was Ronald Reagan who made German-American Day a thing in 1983 to commemorate 300 years of German immigration.
The pic is of a Bavarian town, Miltenberg. Possibly like the places my peeps came from.
