Michael raises the flag Here was part of the process: Michael Orelove is growing an American flag in his flower bed at his home in Gresham. The flowers for the stripes of the flag are Impatiens: “Accent Scarlet” for the red stripes and “Accent White” for the white. The flowers for the blue canton are “Crystal Palace” Lobelia. Michael is holding a sparkler to celebrate the 4th of July at his garden bed. On the trail of Lewis and Clark Michael Orelove and Kathleen Forrest went to the end of the Lewis and Clark trail at Cape Disappointment in Wash- ington State, across the Columbia River from Astoria Oregon. They took a 15 star and 15 stripe American flag with them. This flag became the official United States flag on May 1, 1795. Two stars and two stripes were added for the ad- mission of Vermont and Kentucky.

  • THE LION FLAG Norway's First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard

    THE LION FLAG Norway's First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard

    THE LION FLAG Norway’s First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard On 27 February 1814, the Norwegian Regent Christian Frederik made a proclamation concerning the Norwegian flag, stating: The Norwegian flag shall henceforth be red, with a white cross dividing the flag into quarters. The national coat of arms, the Norwegian lion with the yellow halberd, shall be placed in the upper hoist corner. All naval and merchant vessels shall fly this flag. This was Norway’s first national flag. What was the background for this proclamation? Why should Norway have a new flag in 1814, and what are the reasons for the design and colours of this flag? The Dannebrog Was the Flag of Denmark-Norway For several hundred years, Denmark-Norway had been in a legislative union. Denmark was the leading party in this union, and Copenhagen was the administrative centre of the double monarchy. The Dannebrog had been the common flag of the whole realm since the beginning of the 16th century. The red flag with a white cross was known all over Europe, and in every shipping town the citizens were familiar with this symbol of Denmark-Norway. Two variants of The Dannebrog existed: a swallow-tailed flag, which was the king’s flag or state flag flown on government vessels and buildings, and a rectangular flag for private use on ordinary merchant ships or on private flagpoles. In addition, a number of special flags based on the Dannebrog existed. The flag was as frequently used and just as popular in Norway as in Denmark. The Napoleonic Wars Result in Political Changes in Scandinavia At the beginning of 1813, few Norwegians could imagine dissolution of the union with Denmark.

  • Cruciform Heraldry (Solution)

    Cruciform Heraldry (Solution)

    Cruciform Heraldry (Solution) This puzzle is presented as a cross-shaped arrangement of coats of arms. Other than the blank one showing a question mark, the coats of arms are those of 25 of the 26 cantons of Switzerland, which is also hinted at by the title, the initials of which are the same as the abbreviation for Switzerland (CH, Confoederatio Helvetica), and the name of the font used in the title (Helvetica). Also, the dimensions of the cross are exactly the dimensions of the cross in the Swiss coat of arms and flag. The missing 26th coat of arms is that of Vaud, which says “LIBERTÉ ET PATRIE” on it. The puzzle is a cryptogram. Each of the boxed rows contains the name of a municipality in Switzerland (or a district in the case of Appenzell Innerrhoden, which does not have municipalities and whose districts are equivalent to municipalities in other cantons), where diacritics and hyphens have been preserved, which makes one of the names (Châtel-sur-Montsalvens) an easy way to break into the cryptogram. The decrypted grid is shown below, where the missing letters are marked in red.

    ICV20 A-Intro Stolt.Pub

    Marcia Vexillum — vexillology and military marches Lars C. Stolt Vexillology and military music have many points in common. The military banners and colours being the visual signs in the battle field correspond to the audible signs repre- sented by the regimental calls and marches. The military marches have often established a connection with vexillological items as flags, banners and colours to the mutual advan- tage. Music instruments like bugles, trumpets and kettle drums are often provided with banners, and march titles often refer to flags and colours and their symbolic values. The internationally best known example of a march with flag connection is The Stars and Stripes forever. It was written by the American ‘march king’ John Philip Sousa, returning from Europe 1896 in the ship Teutonic. The march was born of home- sickness and conceived during Sousa's journey home. David Wallis Reeves, by Sousa called ‘The father of band music in America’, wrote in 1880 his Flag March, based on ‘The Star Spangled Banner’. Further American flag marches are Flag of America (George Rosenkrans), Flag of freedom (Frank Pan- ella), Flag of Victory (Paul Yoder), Under the Stars and Stripes (Frank H Losey) and Under One Flag (Annibale Buglione). The rich German march world presents many flag marches. The German ‘march king’ Hermann Ludwig Blankenburg offers several: Mit der Siegesbanner, Mit Parade- flaggen, Unter dem Friedensbanner, Unter Freudensfahnen, Unter Kaisers Fahnen, Unter Preussens Fahne and Unter siegenden Fahnen. Other German flag marches ema- nate from the well known composer Franz von Blon: Mit Standarten, Unter dem Sieges- banner and Flaggen-Marsch, the last mentioned having a title in the United States with another, more specific meaning: Under One Flag.
