What are the colors of the Marine Corp flag and what do they mean?
According to the Marine Corps Flag Manual, the official colors of the USMC are scarlet and gold (p.11, Section E.1.h), but it does not give any information on the intended symbolism of these colors.
See the related link.
There is symbolic meaning to the emblem displayed on the USMC flag, however. The official recruiting website of the USMC has a page devoted to symbols. About the emblem of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, the page says:
"The eagle represents the proud nation we defend. It stands at the ready with our coastlines in sight and the entire world within reach of its outstretched wings. The globe represents our worldwide presence. The anchor points both to the Marine Corps' naval heritage and its ability to access any coastline in the world. Together, the eagle, globe and anchor symbolize our commitment to defend our nation-in the air, on land and at sea."

Is saluting a stationary American flag proper?
It depends on how you define "proper", in this case. Situation dictates.
No regulation from any branch (that I've found) requires you to salute a stationary flag as you pass it by yourself. I doubt you'll catch much flak for doing so, however, as it's still a sign of respect. Extra salutes are rarely penalized, unless you salute a living enlisted service member (saluting them disrespects the officers to whom the salute is actually owed), and even then it's usually a very light reprimand.
Cased flags are not saluted. This includes folded flags. Small flags carried individually (like cheap parade flags) are not saluted. Flags inappropriately displayed (as clothing, etc.) are not saluted - though you may want to inform anyone who displays them that way of the disrespect they are inadvertently showing the flag.
If it is being raised or lowered, salute. If it passes by you in a color guard, salute. If Colors, Reveille, TAPS, or the National Anthem is being played, salute.
If you are leading a formation, salute within 6-30 paces, and cut the salute when you are 6 paces past it. If you are passing in review, you may be told to command your formation to do the same, depending on your area of service.
If in ceremony, the ceremony will dictate when you salute the flag.
If you are in a formation, you do not salute until commanded (or in an open ranks inspection, in which case you salute your inspector when outdoors).
Most services do not have you salute when you are not wearing a cover (hat), unless out of uniform, and then you give the civilian salute (hand over heart). You can, per the new regulation, give a military hand salute out of uniform now if you wish, but you may get asked about it.
Rifle salutes follow the same procedure. You'll always be told when a gun salute is appropriate.
Finally, just remember this, especially when it comes to the American flag:
When in doubt, salute.
You'll rarely get in any trouble for saluting at the wrong time (and if you do it will only be a verbal reprimand), but you WILL get in trouble for failing to salute at the right time (Up to and including being penalized for violating UCMJ Article 89, if you're military).

The flag is a piece of fabric that reflects a country because of its distinctive design. There is a flag called crossed flag which means there are two or more countries allies in one goal or vision, it does not matter which side is higher than the other.
The American flaga and the Christian cross are powerful and important symbols in the United States; and dictators have always taken the symbols of a nation and tried to use them and subvert them for their own purpose. If they can convince the people that these symbols and the ideas they represent are somehow under attack by the enemies of the dictator then the dictatro can turn the will of the people against his enemies. Once his enemies are eliminated the dictator then is free to impose his will as he pleases.
What do the chains stand for on the Spanish flag?
The chains are the Chains of Navarre. Each of the four quadrants of the Spanish coat of arms represent one of the four kingdoms that united to create Spain: the castle for Castile, the lion for Leon, the bars for Aragon, and the chains for Navarre.
The chains are a symbol of the fight led by the Kings of Navarre against Islamic Spain in the Reconquista. Specifically, when King Sancho VII of Navarre fought against the Muslims in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, the Muslim camp was surrounded Black Slaves called Imesebelen in Spanish. These slaves were linked around the camp by a chain that effectively prevented them from moving and would force them to defend the Muslim position at the risk of their lives. King Sancho VII cut the chains, which allowed the Imesebelen to run away and expose the weaker Muslim flank. After the victory, which effectively destroyed any long-term hope the Muslims had of keeping Iberia, King Sancho VII ordered his soldiers to collect the chains as a trophy of their victory. Thus, they became the symbol of Navarre.
