Diplomatic relations between the United States and Denmark stretch back to 1783, when the monarchy then known as Denmark-Norway formally recognized and established a commercial treaty with the newly independent nation.
The friendship has continued, mostly smoothly, since then. Denmark joined NATO as a founding member in 1949 and remains “a stalwart NATO ally,” according to a U.S. State Department Web page.
“Around the world Denmark is a steadfast partner to the United States,” says the website of the U.S. Embassy in Denmark.

SPC Joshua Blotzer Nice that you have that information. Our family came around 1918 but don't know any story about why.
