The wife of a serviceman who was named missing in action, Mary Hoff, started the tradition for the POW MIA flag in 1971 during the Vietnam War. Newt Heisley designed the logo which is now black and white. The flag was originally designed to recognize and represent troops who were claimed MIA or POW.

This flag is to be flown on at government buildings and military installations, including Veterans Day, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, Flag Day and of course National POW/MIA Recognition Day. In mess, dining and chow halls the POW MIA flag is draped over a solitary table and chair as a symbol for the missing. The chair signifies a hope for their return.

Civilians may fly this flag at any time they would like. It is customary that the flag be no larger than an accompanying US flag, and should be flown below it. When flying from separate poles, this flag should be flown to the onlookers' left of the US flag.

There are black and orange versions, as well as red and black ones, but the black and white version is the flag officially flown by the United States of America.

It was September 8 when the Pledge was published on the leading family magazine – The Youth’s Companion. Daniel Ford, the owner and editor of the magazine hired Francis Bellamy in 1891 as his assistant then he later on founded the controversial Ford Hall Forum in downtown Boston.

The following year, Francis Bellamy became chairman of a committee of state superintendents of education and he was the one who organized the program of quadricentennial celebration for Columbus Day of public schools. From then on, the 'Pledge of Allegiance’ has been part of flag raising ceremonies and flag salute in public school programs.

The original pledge was:

'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and (to*) the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'

The word ‘equality’ was not included because during that time, the state superintendents of education were not in favor of equality for women and African Americans.

Those words now read:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.

There are a lot of different stories behind a country flag. The only problem is that some appear to be false and completely inaccurate. People even claim specific reasons behind the colors and designs that were put on national flags but they are outright misinformation and have totally no bearing on the current use of the flag. But even if the origin of each country flag is hard to tell, there are still symbols that give forth clear and obvious meanings.

However, it is not really a good idea to assign specific meanings to the flag if you are unsure of what it means because you could be wrong. It’s always good to confirm it by researching or reading further about the history of a certain country. Common designs of flags include stripes, crosses, patterns, bands or quarters.

The country flag is more than just a decorative flag or element. Keep in mind that it stands for the country or nation’s identity and reflect the patriotism of the people of a certain country. All the flags of the world should be treated with high respect and honor.

There are certain rules that you have to follow in displaying an American flag on a boat. We have to respect the flag at all times that’s why we acknowledge the presence of a flag when we see it because proper decorum demonstrates your respect for the flag and the country it represents.

1. A registered boat of the USA can fly the US flag. The captain, crew and owner of the boat or ship doesn’t have to be an American.

2. The proper flag to fly from a US vessel is the national ensign of the United States. It is also known as "Old Glory" or the "Stars and Stripes." It’s the only US flag that is recognized in the international waters. The flag has 13 alternating red and white stripes with blue field and 50 stars in the upper left hand corner. Other rules can be found in the flag code.

If you are going to attach a flag on the hood of your car, follow these simple steps:

1. Consider buying a car flag with a suction cup attachment. There are custom made car flags available to suit your needs. Rates may vary. Make sure the spot where you want to place the suction cup is clean and dry so you won’t have a difficult time placing the cup there.

2. To check if the flag does not distract you, you can sit inside the driver seat and check. Try driving around the block to see if the flag will not come loose. If it does, you have o adjust quickly before you lose the flag while you’re on the road.

This is a good quality printed flag that is is also suitable to be displayed outside the house because it will surely catch the attention of any patriot who passes by. This is also very colorful and would last a long time outdoors.

An interesting fact about the flag is only the President and Governors of the state are allowed give orders regarding flying the flag on half-staff or half-mast. When we say half-staff or half-mast, it means flying the flag nearly halfway up a flagpole or ship's mast. This is done to show respect, mourning or distress.
