Battle flags have been used for many thousands of years. Banners (flags) are recorded in the Bible as early as 2000 BC.
The Philippine flag was sewn by Lorenza Agoncillo, Delfina Herbosa de Natividad and Dona Marcela Marino de Agoncillo in the year 1898. The flag was first unfurled during the Philippine Independence Day in the same year by the President Emilio Aguinaldo.
It meant you had a son who had died in the service. You could buy little banners, red and white, with big blue stars on them, to hang in the front window of your house. There were banners available with one, two three, four or more stars. You got a banner with a blue star for every member of the household who was away in the service. If one (or more) of them died you got a banner with gold stars for them. There is still an active organization, the National Association of Gold Star Mothers.
