OK... there's the story that Don Jose de San Martin (Argentinian, who fought during the process of liberation from the Spanish colony) was going through some desert (dunes of Paracas, south of Lima) he was resting and had a dream about flamingos flying over him... of course we have flamingos in that area, so might have not being a dream... they say the red and white come from the color of the flamingos.\n\nNow... people also say that in fact the colors are red white red to remember the blood that was spilled fighting for our freedom (the white is the peace after liberation).\n\nWe have had through time different flags, but all of them red and white, only on different designs.\n\nInside of the flag you can see also our coat of arms, with the figure of a lama, a quinine tree and the cornucopia... to symbolize the richness of the three elements in our land, animal, vegetable (SP) and mineral.

i don't know what that is. I just looked at a bunch of native american symbols online, and it doesn't seem to to be in the same artistic vein. I wish I could help you.

No.\n\nIn September 1961 Syria revolted and 29 September the old flag of Siyria  was raised as the national flag. In the center of the flag are three red stars which stand for the Arab revolutions (although certain western sources clain thay represent Damascus, Aleppo and Deir ez Zor). \n\nhttp://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/sy-his2.html#1961\n\ns

incredibly interesting.. never heard it though - i really haven't studied the koran as much as i'd like. \nthe beak - could be the pheonix or the eagle\ni think before 1751 on the american dollar, we had an eagle who looked more like a pheonix, and by many people it was one.\nis alot of masonic symbol crap that has me thinking lately. why do we have 13 stars on coins? it's been a LONG time since we had 13 states. who in the world came up with the idea of putting the eye of ra on the dollar? of the latin? masonic symbols are EVERYWHERE! SG1 uses 'em slightly in the command center on the wall... Legend of Zoro was very cool; it showed a conspiracy about the 'knights of aaragon' (templars/masons).. and if you still the pages of the open book - its got mason picture symbols.... lets see.. Jehovas witnesses & mormons were made by masonry - i have proof of that.. but i'm a little off subject. im me as you like

Well I'm Latino, I was born in South America, I came to the USA when I was just 5 years old, now I'm 35. I served the USA in the Gulf War from 91 to 95. I'm very proud to be an American Citizen now. But Why in the world should I fly my South American Flag when I live in the USA and This great country been so good to me. ((( why do Mexicans fly there Damm Flag here in the USA ))) If it wasn't for this great country all the Mexicans living in here would all be in a Piss hole somewhere in Mexico.

Coloring jerseys according to the nation's flag has always been a convention rather than the rule. Therefore, you will find a few countries here and there that come represented in colors that are nowhere on their flag. Actually I think for teams that have been out there very long there is history and tradition to it like Italy I guess.

There are experts that can authenticate the flag. They'll check to see if the dyes are right, the fabric, the style. Some of that would depent on when and where it was made. \n\nYou could do a lot youself, but it would take a lot of time\n\nGood luck

Wikipedia has a picture of the flag. It is a black flag with a red star centered on the banner: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation\n\nFrom the Declaration from the Lacandón jungle by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation:\n\n"We use black and red in our uniform as our symbol of our working people on strike."\n\nI am sure the colors of black and red in the flag symbolize the same.

This is true for Peru and the Inca\nnearly all of the Inca were 'drawn and quartered' for refusing to follow the belief of the conquistadors, including their chief.\n\nThe story goes that the Inca chief was handed the bible and told 'this is the word of God'.  The Inca put the book to his ear and threw it to the ground saying 'who is this god who does not speak'

You also rarely hear your national anthem.  We are a country that is proud of every aspect of it.  We fought for what we have.  We live in a society that teaches us to be proud of where we live and respect where we are from.  The flag is a symbol of our freedom.  It is way more than just a flag to us.  I realize that is something that you may not understand.  The stars and stripes of the flag all represent something.   The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies and the 50 stars represent the 50 states.  It isn't "just a flag" it is a symbol of who we are and how we got to be that.  :)

"and why if they went to the moon, the flag was moving, ther eis no wind in space."\n\nNASA spent the big bucks on this one.  They wanted to leave a flag on the moon, but one problem.  There is gravity on the moon, but no air, and no wind.  So the flag would flop, just like a windless day.\n\nSo they wanted the flag to hang unfurled without wind.  So they put a bar across the top of the flag, so that it would stretch out.  They also put a weight in the lower outside corner, also to stretch it out.  When the flag was released, the weight moved back and forth, like a pendulum, causing a waving motion in the flag.\n\nSorry to disappoint, but we really were there.
