Three 'Plus's' representing 1. The Native Americans: 2. The White Settlers: 3. The Black Slaves:  All now united under one flag.\n\nThree Crosses as on a voting paper: Representing: 1. Votes for women:  2.  Votes for Blacks:  3.  Votes for Gay rights (I don't agree with the last but go for it).\n\nThree crosses:  Two represent the punishment for two criminals:  The other for a convicted innocent man (Jesus - but do not mention Him).

The Maple leaf is on the Canadian Flag. The red bars also represent the blood spilt by the Canadian army during both World Wars and the White background between the red bars represents the Arctic North of the country.\n\nI hope that helps.

Go to this website and click on the United States of America flag on the left side of screen. I think it pretty much answers your questions.\nhttp://fairvote.org/

The red respresents the blood shed in the stuggle for this nation.... the white represents the purity of the ideas that the founding fathers set forth and the blue represents the true faith and allegience that the sodliers and patriots had for the principles of freedom

Ohio is the only one of the 50 states to use a nonrectangular flag. Its designer, John Eisenmann, may have been inspired by the swallow-tailed shape of a guidon that was carried by the U.S. cavalry. The flag was to be flown from the Ohio building at the Pan-American Exposition of 1901, a circumstance that may also have contributed to its unusual shape.

For the United States-\n\nThe basic design of the flag is specified by sections 1 and 2 of Title 4, United States Code (4 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2 (2004)). Executive Order 10834 which may be found as a note to section 1, specifies the proportions of the flag and the arrangement of the stars in the union.

I don't know which flag you are asking about, but if any flag has to fly, that should be a USA flag. It was in USA when, 2 centuries ago, workers went on national strike because they were made to work over 12 hours a day. They demanded to work at least 8 hours a day. Many people had to die during that strike, fired at by policemen, before their demand was granted. So, that strike was supported by many people from all over the world, which is the reason why today May 01 is Workers Holiday all over the world.

From what I have seen; The American Flag if you are American should be flown as you are facing it on the Left of all other flags. I have also heard that the American flag should be flown higher than flags of other countries. Again only in America. The flag should also be clean and not worn out. Worn out American flags should be burned, if you take a worn US Flag to any US Post office they should take it from you and have it destroyed properly.\n\nI do not have any references and this information just comes from what I have seen and heard.

Design of the flag\nThe UK flag consists of three elements: the cross of St. George (red on white) for England, the cross of St. Andrew (white diagonal on blue) for Scotland, and the so-called cross of St. Patrick (red diagonal on white) for Ireland. The original Union Jack/Union Flag adopted in 1606 was symmetrical: the red cross of St. George outlined in white overlaid on top of a St. Andrew's flag, which was blue with a white X.\n\nSo the answer is blue. I think

The equilateral triangle is a clear reference to the yearning for liberty, equality and fraternity. The color red portends the spilling of blood that would be required to win independence. The single star located in the middle of the triangle is a symbol of absolute freedom. The three blue stripes represent the eastern, central and western provinces into which the island was formerly divided. The two white strips signify the purity and virtue of the Cuban people. The Cuban flag was hoisted for the first time in the city of Cárdenas, in the province of Matanzas, in 1850.
