Sorry to relate this to you but your flag will not always be there, \nits already happened in the UK. \nsome local governments are refusing to fly the union jack, local councils have also started to ban Christmas lights and decorations. \nin some of the towns and villages across the UK. \nLocal governments are now Listening to the immigrant wishes rather than to the indigenous people. \nOnce it starts there will be no stopping it.  \nyou WILL one day lose the fight for your flag, \nand then, what's next.

The flag is backwards since thats the way it flies when charging...as with going with the wind.  And american troops never retreat always forward to victory.

For 140 years (1819-1959), the Union Jack flew over Singapore. Then, on 3 December 1959, the National Flag, an important symbol of independence, was unveiled at the installation of the new Head of State, the Yang di-Pertuan Negara. Also unveiled that day were the State Crest and the National Anthem. The flag was conceived and created by a committee headed by the then Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Toh Chin Chye.\n\nThe Flag consists of two horizontal halves, red above white. Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of men; white, purity and virtue. In the upper left corner, a white crescent moon and five white stars form a circle. The crescent moon represents a young nation on the rise. The five stars stand for Singapore's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

A flag ceremony pays respect to your country.  This should be done in silence.

Yes. People are free to interpret any respresentation any way they wish. That's part of what that flag represents.

The flag can be flown at half mast if someone dies.  It shouldn't be a problem.

The only people that have to salute the flag are active military personnel.  What bothers me is when people don't respect the flag by not removing their hats during the National Anthem(rednecks at NASCAR races).  People who think it's part of the freedom of speech to desecrate the flag( i.e. burning it, defecating on it, etc.).

The above answer is correct. The blue colr brightly distinguishes them as a "peacekeeping" force and not a "fighting" force.

When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right.\n..The other flags may be smaller but none may be larger.\n..No other flag ever should be placed above it.

Depends on the circumstances.\n\nFor example: if country 'A' declares war and attacks - then country 'B' had better do something.\n\nHowever there have been times when a country has declared war and been ignored (such as the three times Iran has declared war on the US).

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
