Historically, army leaders carried flags into battle as

a rallying point for the soldiers. Today, flags are used

to decorate buildings, mark public events, start races,

honour the dead, or to spell out messages or warnings

from one ship to another. But by far the most

recognizable ones are national flags – vibrant in

colour and unique in symbolism. Organizations

and citizens fly the flag for their countries, building

up a strong sense of identity, pride, and unity.
