Your Flag

What does your countrys flag mean to you?
When I came to work today everybody had our flag up, because it´s an election day here.

That made me think that it is a damn nice flag we have,

to me it stands for freedom, truth, quality and pure air!

Post your flag and say few words about what your flag means to you.

Freedom, strength, honor, home

There is a historical background of our flag. In a war of medieval age, one of Ottoman Padishahs saw the reflection of moon and a star on water full of blood. Therefore it represents the sacrifices that are made to save this country.

They'll always be an England

to me, its a beautiful and unique land, filled with a diverse motley crue of people..
making up a country i call home..

Green:
The Independence Movement
White:
The purity of the Catholic faith.
Red:
The blood of the National Heroes

The emblem-shield symbolizes the Aztec heritage. According to a beautiful legend, the gods had advised the Aztecs that the place where they should establish their city was to be identified when they saw an eagle, perched on a prickly pear tree, devouring a serpent. They saw this mythical eagle on a marshy lake that is now the zócalo or main plaza in Mexico City.

Viva Mexico!!!

well since i was also born in Chile...ill do one for this too..

this flag to me represents the heritage of my family, myself and of my children. Represents the Latin
blood running through me, the man i am, the man i will be and the kind of man i hope my son to be..

nice one BDD

St Georges cross... to me, means England, and England to me, means...

... looking out of my window at the most amazing blue sky. Even on a cold January morning. I guess what I'm saying is that I love the English seasons.

Our humour, yes sometimes people don't get it, which in some cases is the funniest part. No other country offers comedy like Blackadder, Benny Hill, Monty Python, The Office etc.... But the best thing about our humour is that we can laugh at ourselves - and we do.

The diversity of our press, a reminder that everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Our local beers

The BBC

The history we have. Such as people like Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who gave us the most awesome structures in the world.

"Sorry" has never been the hardest word to say. Even if someone's treading on our feet, it's in our nature to apologise.

The British soldier who risks his life for the safety of others (as I know is the same for any military in the world). Committed, uncompromising, modest men / women who perform the most gruelling duties with quiet efficiency and dignity that make our armed forces IMO the best in the world.

I think we lead the world in eccentrics. Whether its witing stories about the first cuckoo of spring, or a pointless debate about the origin of the V-sign.

When it works, the welfare state is top notch. Theres nowhere else I would rather be injured Smile bitch It may not always run like clockwork, but for all its faults I am proud of a National Health Service which looks after us all, rich or poor, young or old.

Fish and chips.

And finally... Our weather.

Thats what my flag means to me, along with a whole lot more, but i kept the list short
And to go with what BDD said "There will always be an England"

black-like my soul
red-like my club
yellow- like hmm..my pee in the snow

had to borrow mine but im posting two, i am ammerican by birth, son of immigrants. the US flag symbolizes the land i was born in and that i love, despite the many differences we have. the freedom that it gives me and that i appreciate. the mexican flag represents the blood flowing through my veins, and the beatiful land and heritage i was born into.

Just like Finland.

The icelandic flag.

In my mind, the icelandic flag stands for...

1. Tolerance (world's first elected female president)
2. Freedom (oldest parliament in the world, was founded in 930)
3. History, Vikings and old Sagas.
4. Purity
5. And the most bautifull girls in the world

In my mind the kross (in the flag) unites the scandinavian countries.
