Dutch American Friendship Day / Heritage Day Every year there are two events where the Dutch-American Community in the Netherlands celebrate the bilateral relations between the Netherlands and the United States. Around April 19 is the Dutch-American Friendship Day, that remembers the day that John Adams, the second president of the United States, was received by the States General in the Hague and recognized as Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America. It was also the day that the house he had purchased at Fluwelen Burgwal 18 in The Hague was to become the first American Embassy in the World. I have placed this on my facebook :)
