About Country Flags and National Flags
Flags have held a place in history for centuries. In the beginning, they mostly held military significance. However, the Union Jack dates back to the early 1600s. Throughout the 19th Century, most European countries had their own flag. The United States officially adopted their flag on June 14, 1777. Later, that date would be honored annually as Flag Day.
While Americans relish their own history, the country is a melting pot of different cultures with many people moving to the US from other parts of the world. The United States Flag Store makes it easy and affordable to celebrate your multicultural heritage with its amazing array of International Flags.
They offer high-quality, well-made international flags that come in a wide range of sizes like the popular 3ft x 5ft design to hand-held stick flags.

Flags and Their Meanings
Flags can be interrupted in many ways. They can serve as signals of control or freedom, They also can indicate if there is danger or safety. More commonly we see flags used as symbols for their nations or countries.
Why are flags important?
Flags stand as a symbol for the people of the country it represents. A flag is more than a decoration as it is a expression of pride and the qualities that the people of that country stand for. Flags are powerful and inspiring to the people that occupy that nation in which the flag displayed.
Why do countries have flags?
Long before the modern world and our countries were established, ancient armies would carry symbols into battle that are called Vexilloids. These Vexilloids were 3D symbols that were carved and placed on top of a staff that was carried into war. The Romans then made these symbols 2D and printed the symbol instead of carving them. It wasn't until China started embellishing symbols on Chinese Silk that flags were created. These flags traveled the silk road and were initially used to rank officers. When the flags reached Europe, Knights used them to identify themselves by what kind of land they had and their noble titles. Flags were very personal and it wasn't until the American and French Revolution that they were used to represent a entire country. Flags were then modernized with simpler designs than what was created previously to represent families and noble houses which were more intricate. It was the American and French flags that inspired the simple design and color blocking for flags that were then created for all of our other countries. Every country wanted their own flag to represent their nation and the idea caught on very quickly!
