Mum and dad!     Actually, he was born in Panama on May 30, 1909 to a Barbadian father and a Jamaican mother. His parents moved from Panama to Cuba and he was sent to Jamaica where he was placed in the care of an aunt. I don't think it's gonna be too easy to find out their names.

Lieutenant Francisco Gonzalo Marin a.k.a. Pachin Marin (March 9, 1863-November 1897) born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, designer of the Puerto Rican Flag was a poet and journalist who fought alongside Jose Marti as a member of the Cuban Liberation Army.\n\n \nLt. Francisco Gonzalo Marin Marin was raised in Arecibo, town in which he received both his primary and secondary education. It was a period in history when the last two remaining Spanish Colonies in the Antilles, Puerto Rico and Cuba were demanding either more autonomy or full independence. Marin himself was a believer of the independence cause and openly advocated his ideas. He had an older brother, Wencenlao Marin, whom he admired and with whom he shared his ideals. Marin expressed his love for his country in his poems and in the newspaper he founded, "El Postillon".\n\nMarin's brother enlisted in the Cuban Liberation Army which was fighting the Spanish Crown and was given the rank of Lieutenant. In the meantime, Marin was the victim of political persecution by the Spanish Government in the island and went into exile to the Dominican Republic in 1889 and to Venezuela in 1890.\n\nIn 1892, Marin received the tragic news that his brother Lt. Wencenlao Marin had perished in the Battle of Manigua in Cuba. This motivated Marin to travel to New York City and enlist in the Cuban Liberation Army. The New York headquarters of the Cuban Army was situated in the New York offices of the Cuban Revolutionary Party. The person registering the volunteers when Marin went to enlist was Jose Marti. The meeting of the two was the beginning of a friendship which was cut short by the death of Marti in 1895. Marin is credited with designing the Puerto Rican Flag. He used the Cuban Flag as a model and inverted the colors in the flags triangle and stripes. He presented the flag in New York's "Chimney Corner Hall" a gathering place of independence advocates. The flag soon came to symbolize the ideals of the Puerto Rican independence movement. It should be noted that some people believe that Manuel Besosa was the designer , based on a letter written by his daughter where she says, "...my father asked me to sew together some pieces of cloth, white, red and blue that he brought himself , this tiny flag had 5 alterned stripes, red and white, and a triangle with a five point star within it...".\n\nSoon, Marin found himself fighting in Cuba where he was given the rank of Lieutenant. On November 1897 Lt. Francisco Gonzalo Marin died from the wounds he received during a skirmish against the Spanish Army.\n\nThe Puerto Rican Flag designed by Marin was approved by the Government of Puerto Rico on July 24, 1952, making it the official flag of Puerto Rico. However, the flag adopted by the government was slightly different. Instead of a light blue triangle, preffered by the independence movement, the government approved a dark blue triangle similar to the blue used in the flag of the United States. The City of Arecibo named an Avenue in his honor.

Why is the Irish flag waved on St. Patrics day?  Because people who came from that country have a reason to unite under it, as does any American who respects their past.\nAre we at War with Mexico?\nGet over it.

I do not know that the colors stand for anything specifically...the flag is a combination of the flags of Scotland, England and Ireland (well, the northern part at least)\n\nThe blue is the field of the Scottish flag, with the white saltire (X) being the cross on Scotland's flag.  The white cross with a red cross imposed upon it is England's flag, and then the red saltire is the red cross of St. Patrick.

I wasn't able to find out Panama grants citizenship to everyone born in the country, but you should be able to find that out, as well as how to get your birth certificate by contacting the nearest Panamanian consulate.

The puertorican flag and the cuban flag were made when they became the last two colonies of Spain, and happened to be that they switch colors... Each colony took their way and opted to keep their flags intact...

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.

Depends on where you are from.....if you are from the U.S. which believes North and South America to be a seperate continent then it is North America since North America ends at Panama and South America begins in Colombia.

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.

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.
