As previously so beautifully documented by renowned photo-essayist Michael C. McCall, the kids had all created their own coats of arms, and had worked together to make one for the group.

But I think I’ll just plead the mitigating circumstance that Michael was too involved in his papperazic photo-journalism to invest great effort in creating his coat of arms.

King Michael's contribution to Romanian liberation was virtually forgotten by the people, because the communists intentionally left it out of the official history.
In fact, both his British and Danish passports read "His Majesty King Michael." It is for this reason that the Romanian government has denied him a visa.(3) But the tide may be turning for the former monarch.
