Flags

The poem was called the "Defense of Fort McHenry." It was set to the tune of a British drinking song called "The Anacreontic Song" or more commonly "To Anacreaon in Heaven."

The thirteen stripes represent the first thirteen states when America was made.

Flags in the early times had the function of rallying people in battle and showing them where their side was fighting and heading. So many flags had a 'signal' color like red to draw attention. That is also why the Danish flag is red.

The white cross represents Christianity and can in similar form also be found in the flags of the other Scandinavian countries.

Legend has it that the Danish flag fell out of the sky as a sign of Heaven during the battle of Lyndanisse, in 1219.

USA FLAG COLORS There was an act that said that the flag of the thirteen United States be the thirteen stripes, alternated with red and white and the union be thirteen stars be white in a bay of blue field that would represent a new constellation. Washington said that they take the stars from the heavens and the red from our mother country that would separate it by white stripes, and the white stripes will mean liberty.

There are actually 13 stripes (7 red and 6 white)... One for each of the 13 original colonies.

That is the Native American flag, but I'm not sure the value. Sorry.

A skull, or "death's head" as the pirates would call it, represents death. That's really all there is to it. It could be used to scare their enemies, as if to say "we will kill you." It could also symbolize the fact that pirates were not scared of death. They generally accepted that the pirate life is dangerous, as in the famous quote by Black Bart Roberts, "A short life and a merry one. This shall be my motto." Roberts crew sailed under two different flags; one that contained two skulls and one that contained a skeleton.

Red is a color that stands out clearly against the sky and the colors of nature, making the flag stand out against its surroundings. The same reason would explain why red is the color used for flags of danger or caution as it is very important that those do not get overlooked.

Forty eight. The flag of the United States of America had forty eight stars from 1912 until 1959. Veteran's Day is celebrated in the United States on November 11th each year. The November 11th celebration dates back to 11:00am on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 when the hostilities of World War One officially came to an end. Most of the world recognizes November 11th as "Armistice Day." In 1954 President Eisenhower signed a resolution changing "Armistice Day" to "Veterans Day" as a recognition to all veterans of all wars.

The Olympic flag presented by Coubertin in 1914 is the prototype: it has a white background, and in the centre, there are five interlaced rings blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The blue ring is farthest left, nearest the pole.

The colors are red (7 stripes) and white (6 stripes). The field containing 50 stars is blue.

The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies, and the 50 stars represent the current number of states (which changed over time as states were added).

Ivory Coast... Algeria... Italy... Bulgaria... Madagascar... Hungary... Iran... Kuwait... Oman... Mexico all have those colors.
