The Flag of Dominican Republic was be aboard a U.S. space shuttle 2006. U.S. Rep. Jose E. Serrano asked for this to happen to thank the over 100,000 Dominican constituents living in the Bronx district of New York, USA. The official announcement was made Monday 22, 2006. After the flag gets its ride on the shuttle, where Dominican has ever been, the flag will be on display at Hostos Community College in the Bronx. This college, named for Puerto Rican independence advocate Eugenio Maria de Hostos (who, by the way, is buried in the national shrine of Dominican Republic), will have a special ceremony for this permanent exhibition. This is a big honor for the Dominican people as a whole. It shows that the USA recognizes the contributions that the people of Dominican Republic have given to United States.
