The Norwegian Constitution was signed 198 years ago today. It declared Norway to be an independent nation.
I love Norway's Independence Day because the focus, of the day, is on the children on Norway who participate in parades all over the country, including the capitol, where they march past the palace to be greeted by the royal family.
The holiday is completely non-military with no celebration of one nation defeating another. That's what I call a "civilized" nation.
