The staff at U.S. Embassy, Prague, again proudly join Vaclav Havel Day, marking the death of the first Czech President on December 18, 2011. This year we honor Vaclav Havel’s legacy by remembering his words, which express the values that we Americans share with the Czechs.
The “Short Trousers For Václav Havel” initiative marks the anniversary of the death of Václav Havel (December 18, 2011), the country’s first post-communist President. Participants roll up their pants to remember Václav Havel’s first inauguration to the Presidency in December 1989, when he wore visibly short trousers.
