Why do we celebrate de Luna and the 5 Flags?

In 1559, Don Tristan de Luna, a Spanish Conquistador settled in what is now known as Pensacola.  A few months later a hurricane occurred and then de Luna and his people had to leave the area in search of food and other supplies.  This is why Pensacola is known as the first settlement, not the first city St. Augustine gets that honor.  Since the days of Don Tristan de Luna, Pensacola has flow 5 flags, the Spanish, French, British, Confederate, and the United States.  

This is your history lesson for the day.  Next year should be a huge celebration, because it will be 450 years.
