[Unveiling of Sign]

Photograph of two young men unveiling a sign in front of what appears to be a two-story structure with white siding and sloping roofs. The two men have been identified as Brian and Carl Jensen, but the names have not been matched to either individual. Two navy flags are on either side of them. The sign is painted white. In Old English type, it reads "Danevang". Below this, an American and Texas flag flank the silhouette of the Texas state, which has been filled with the Danish flag. Below these motifs, there is a second line of text that reads, "Danish Capital of Texas." In the background, a second structure can be seen of the same construction materials as the first.
