Flags

February 24, 1821 when the first Mexican flag was designed.

The ancient Turks believed in the Sky God. And Moon and Sun symbolized his eyes. They were sacred to them. Stars were very special for them too. They gave exotic names to the stars. Their religion (not really a religion, more like "the way it is") was called Tur (later renamed by the other people) The star could be there because of Sirius star which had a very special meaning among ancient Turks. They did not have the concept of death among thir culture and used the term "ucmaga ermek" for those that died. English translation would be close to "to ascend, transcend and fly" But it cannot be translated properly. Ucmak could mean the next phase of evolution in proto Turkish. They propbably believed they went to Sirius star.

"Ottoman" means "ATAMIN" in Turkish and mean "that belongs to my ancestors, elders."

Later after Arabs assimilated (actually tricked) Turkish culture and started giving them Arab names, the name became Osmanli. The Turks migrating to Anatolia from the far Middle Asia was because they were coming back to settle in their ancestors lands. And the star could mean Anatolia which means "Turkish homeland" as well. Anadolu means "land full of our mothers" in Turkish. Asia is Asya in Turkish and means something close to "The first land" So the star could mean all the Asia as well.

Speaking of the star, "Earth" means "Yurt" in Proto Turkish (their pronounciation is nearly same.) And today "YURT" means "my homeland" in modern Turkish. So it could mean the whole Earth as well.

The flag flying over Fort McHenry had 15 stripes. The Flag Act of January 13, 1794 - provided for 15 stripes and 15 stars after May 1795. This didn't change until the Act of April 4, 1818 - provided for 13 stripes and one star for each state, to be added to the flag on the 4th of July following the admission of each new state, signed by President Monroe. Note that on September 14, 1814 when Francis Scott Key composed the Star-Spangled Banner, the official configuration of the flag had been 15 stripes for 19 years and would not go back to 13 until almost 4 years later.

Its Red, White, And Blue. But It looks like a Cross, and a X Straight down the middle of the Flag.

The Tennessee constitution defines the "Grand Divisions" of Tennessee as East Tennessee, Central Tennessee and West Tennessee. The three stars in the Tennessee flag represent the three Grand Divisions of the state. The blue circle around the stars represents the unity of the "Grand Divisions" of the state.

Before Hawaii and Alaska was included as states, only the "Lower 48" states had stars in the flag. This was changed in 1959, when they were both exepted into the union, Alaska on the 3rd of January, and Hawaii on the 21st of August.

Many different women in the early United States sewed flags. The "American patriotic mythology" names Betsy Ross as sewing the first flag, but this cannot be determined and is actually very unlikely due to the total number of women sewing flags and the slow rate of communication in those days.

The first national Confederate flag was nicknamed "Stars and Bars".

The Confederate battle flag that flew starting from 1863, was called "The Southern Cross".

Furthermore, at the start of the Civil War a third banner was adopted by the CSA in 1861. It consisted of a single, five pointed white star, on a blue field and was called "The Bonnie Blue Flag".

7 Red stripes.

The U.S. flag also known as Old Glory, the Star-Spangled Banner, or simply the Stars and Stripes, has been an important national symbol since it's official birth on June 14, 1777.

50 Stars: Represents the 50 states with the USA

13 Stripes: The Seven red and six white horizontal stripes represent the original 13 colonies

Red: Signifies hardiness and valor

White: Signifies purity and innocence

Blue: Signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

The Rings symbolize each geographical area. Each country within these areas has a minimum of one colour on the emblem in their national flag. No one ring has any specific meaning. There were 5 countries and so 5 different coloured rings.

Depends on the size of the flag, really....

orange stands for pumpkins, its month is November because when the Pilgrims helped the native Americans and all the food they ate were brown and orange, you just think of orange in November. Its also for turkeys, they usually are red, brown, orange, yellow. Orange stands for the sun. orange stands for sand. Also orange can be ones favorite color.

The hammer represents the workers and the sickle represents the peasant farmers of the country. Both workers and peasants together with disgruntled soldiers were responsible for the overthrow of the Tsar as well as the later overthrow of the Provisional Government by the Bolsheviks.

Here is a site that will explain the various styles the flag has been designed. http://www.usa-flag-site.org/history.shtml

If you are refering to the small banner type flags that hung in windows of the 1940's, it was a sign that a service member was killed in action. If the star (one star for each family member in the service) was blue, it referred to that sevice.

It is called the "Rebellious Stripes Flag", and was adopted by the Sons of Liberty in 1767as one of the first flags of the American Revolution.

Other accounts tracing the Sons of Liberty flag origins suggest that the Viking long boat called Drakur flew the red and white striped flag, and even that the motif can be traced further back to the Tribe of Dan.

51 flags, all the states and the American flag

the 50 stars represent the 50 states, the 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies

The flags that Columbus flew on the Santa Maria were the Spanish flag and the flag of the King and Queen of Spain Ferdinand and Isabella as described in his log book dated October 12th 1492. The king and queen's flag had a green "F" to the left of a green cross in the middle and a green "Y" to the right. A gold crown was above each of the letters "F" and "Y." "Ferdinand" and "Ysabel." This flag was an "ensign" flag which meant that it would have been flown on the stern (read deck) of the ships.

The Spanish flag was from the "Kingdom of Castile and Leon" showed two yellow/gold castles on a red background (upper left and lower right) and two red lions on a white background (upper right and lower left).

Eagle is Poland's heraldic badge, but it isn't on the flag - the flag is just white and red. However, flag with coat of arms is used with some special destinations: on embassies, ships or airports. You'll find more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Poland

The individual colors do not represent any one thing in particular. The five rings on the Olympic flag are five different colors, blue, black, red, yellow and green. They were chosen because every nation in the world had at least one of these colors in their flag at the time it was designed, 1914.

The cross design is modeled after the Danish flag. The color red is said to symbolize the island's active volcanoes; white the ice and snow that covers most of the country, and blue is symbolic of the surrounding Atlantic Ocean.

Actually the white represents the glaciers, peace and honesty of the country.

You do it with him when he asks You would show respect by taking what he says when he is being serious to heart, and really thinking about the best thing for the both of you, and letting him take charge like that. This rule goes into the bedroom, sure, but it is not limited to that. Make sure that your opinion is known to him, but that he takes the authority for the most part, though not without letting you know what is up whenever something is going down. Social situations are a biggie. You should try to never appear domineering over him, as that chafes his ego, and that ego is part of what protects you from the freaks, pervs, and ex-cons. Moderation is always a good choice, as you should make your prescence known at meals and such with other people, but not so much so that he feels snubbed or so that he feels antagonized by being talked over. Respect does go hand in hand with discipline, as going too far is showing a lack of self-discpline as well as a lack of respect for yourself and him too. And no, I am not married, or even engaged, nor do I have this down either, but I know that it willl work, as it is logical and Biblical.
