Custom Street Pole Banners - Custom Feather Flags


Monday, July 23, 2012

All countries of the world have flags because these serve as representations of their rich backgrounds and history. The flags will represent different states and their respective stories. The flags also stand for patriotism, freedom and other great virtues. Many countries have fashioned their flags and have made changes over the years depending on the special events that have happened. Historic flags have very good purposes and are a unique way to remember the past.

Generally, flags are used for educational reasons. Many of the younger generations today do not understand the whole story behind nations and countries. The presence of flags will make it easier to understand why there are fifty stars on the American flag. Older flags of the United States will actually feature fewer stars when the Union was still adding more states into the list. The stars grew more in number as the Union continued to spread and add new places over time.

Just a few decades back, the famous singer Frank Sinatra still sang about the forty eight states in “Let’s Get Away From It All”. Older flags will feature significant features about the state and is a very effective tool in teaching younger generations.

Aside from the many educative purposes of historic flags, many groups and associations also display these to mark special events throughout the ages. The original flags of regiments show how the United States of America has formed itself to become one of the greatest nations in the world. Even though America is still a young state for many, it already has a full history.
