Flag of Jordan

Today marks the 60th Independence day in Jordan.
What makes this day special, isn't only this particular moment in history when Jordan gained sovereignty back from English Mandatory power in 1946, but it is also a day to remember the Great Arab Revolt 90 years ago, which was a revolt lead by the grandfather of the Hashimites & the King of Hijaz, Sharif Hussein Ben Ali, against the Ottoman Empire, a great day for all the Arab world.
What's more, is that this same day marks the Arabization of the Jordanian Army by the late King Hussein Ben Talal in 1956.
