Spain I. Introduction “The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history. It represents the experiences made by men and women, the experiences of those who do and live under that flag.” Woodrow Wilson1 “FLAG, n. A colored rag borne above troops and hoisted on forts and ships. It appears to serve the same purpose as certain signs that one sees on vacant lots in London—‘Rubbish may be shot here.’” Ambrose Bierce2 The power of the flag as a national symbol was all too evident in the 1990s: the constitutional debate over flag burning in the United States; the violent removal of the communist seal from the Romanian flag; and the adoption of the former czarist flag by the Russian Federation. In the United States, Texas alone possesses a flag and seal directly descended from revolution and nationhood. The distinctive feature of INSIDE / SOMMAIRE Page both the state flag and seal, the Lone Star, is famous worldwide because of the brief Editor’s Note / Note de la rédaction 2 existence of the Republic of Texas (March 2, 1836, to December 29, 1845).3 For all Solid Vexillology 2 the Lone Star’s fame, however, there is much misinformation about it. -

[The American flag] signifies government resting on the con- sent of the governed; liberty regulated by law; the protection of the weak against the strong; security against the exercise of arbi- trary power; and absolute safety for free institutions against for- eign aggression.1 3 HE EXTENT to which the government may control nonverbal expression is a difficult problem, especially when our flag is part of such expression. The flag, as the symbol of our nation, has be- come integrally associated with patriotism and freedom.2 Because of its strong psychological impact,3 the flag is an excellent method of conveying economic, social, and political ideas.4 Consequently, it has been used in a wide variety of ways to express ideas. This wide- spread use of the flag has resulted in the enactment of flag desecration statutes designed to punish certain conduct with respect to the flag. -
The Origins of Flag Day
The Origins of Flag Day That the flag of the United States shall be of thirteen stripes of alternate red and white, with a union of thirteen stars of white in a blue field, representing the new constellation. This was the resolution adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. The resolution was made following the report of a special committee which had been assigned to suggest the flag’s design. A flag of this design was first carried into battle on September 11, 1777, in the Battle of the Brandywine. The American flag was first saluted by foreign naval vessels on February 14, 1778, when the Ranger, bearing the Stars and Stripes and under the command of Captain Paul Jones, arrived in a French port. The flag first flew over a foreign territory in early 1778 at Nassau, Bahama Islands, where Americans captured a British fort. Observance of the adoption of the flag was not soon in coming, however. Although there are many claims to the first official observance of Flag Day, all but one took place more than an entire century after the flag’s adoption in 1777. The first claim was from a Hartford, Conn., celebration during the first summer of 1861. In the late 1800s, schools all over the United States held Flag Day programs to contribute to the Americanization of immigrant children, and the observance caught on with individual communities. The most recognized claim, however, comes from New York. On June 14, 1889, Professor George Bolch, principal of a free kindergarten for the poor of New York City, had his school hold patriotic ceremonies to observe the anniversary of the Flag Day resolution. -

“Visions of Azerbaijan”.-2010.-November/December.-p.8-12. State Flag Day by Mais Amrahov Ancient origins The word bayrag (flag) is Turkic in origin. It is mentioned in the 11th century dictionary Divani-lugat-it-turk (dictionary of the Turkish language) of Mahmud Kashkarli, both in the modern meaning and in literal meanings of the word bayrak – batrak. The word bayrag has the same meaning in most ancient and modern Turkic languages. Batrak, bayrak originated from the verb ‘to stick in’, to thrust (batir – batirmaq, sanjmag). Alongside bayrag other words were also used to mean flag: tugra, bunjug, sanjag - which also arose from the verb meaning to thrust (sanjmag). Archaeological finds in Azerbaijan confirm that flags to be used as standards were present even in the Bronze Age (4th – 2nd Millennium B.C.). Circular bronze boards and bronze standards in other shapes, decorated with various geometrical figures, such as a horned deer, an eight-pointed star and a radiant sun, were found during archaeological excavations carried out in Shaki and Shamkir; they were probably the symbols of the head of a tribe or ruling authority. Most of the standards found carried images of horned animals. These are also encountered in Assyrian reliefs of the 8-7 centuries B.C., depicting fortresses in Manna. Standards in these shapes probably served as talismans. In today’s Azerbaijan, the horns of goats and rams, animal skulls (dogs, horses, deer) are still fastened above gates and doors and used as symbols or talismans to protect against ‘the evil eye’ and malevolent deeds. The Azerbaijani flag has an ancient history. -

Flag-Desecration As Free Speech Position Paper
FLAG-desecration 1 Flag-Desecration as Free Speech Comment [Dr. C1]: Rough example of what your paper Position Paper - APA Style should look like. This is not an A paper, but it will give you a good idea of what you need to do. ENG102 Online By Janice Rogers Glendale Community College FLAG-desecration 2 Flag-Desecration as Free Speech I feel that desecration of the American flag during political protest should be considered expressive speech, and therefore protected by the First Amendment. First of all, in the midst of peaceful political protest, flag desecration alone does not physically harm anyone. It is also a very effective attention-getter. Second, the opposite of flag-burning could be considered flag-waving and thus it could be argued that if flag desecration were outlawed, then actions such as flag-waving must also be outlawed so that the flag-protection law is not content-based. Along that same line, Congress would eventually be asked to again look at actions such as book-burning and cross-burning and pushed to take similar action against those offenses, as well. Third, if one is in possession of an American flag, which is owned by the bearer, then that flag is his/her private property, and we are protected to do as we want with our own property. Fourth, and most importantly, one of the most basic principles our country was built on was that of limited government and personal freedom. Every time a constitutional amendment is created that outlaws our actions, a little bit of that freedom is taken away from us and more power is given to the government. -
