The Flag
أنا قلبي يابو خالد تولع بالعيون السود
هنوف صاغها المولى وأبدع في محاسنها
أشوف الزين يابو خالد تمشي وسط ايجوررود
أحس الخلق لحظتها تناظر في مفاتنها
ذكرت الله حزتها وعيني تلتفت بحدود
افكر بالقصيد كيف ابكتبها والحنها
ياليت الوقت يجمعنا ابفرشله غلاي ورود
وتسكن في مرابيع الخفوق وفي مواطنها
للشاعر قريب الروح
The national flag of Chile, consists of two unequal horizontal bands of white and red and a blue square the same height as the white band in the canton, which bears a white five-pointed star in the center. It was adopted on 18 October 1817. The Chilean flag is also known in Spanish as La Estrella Solitaria (The Lone Star).

DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP
The phrase "Don't give up the ship," uttered by Captain James Lawrence after being mortally wounded by enemy fire aboard the gunboat Chesapeake on June 1, 1813, became the battle cry of naval commander Oliver Hazard Perry who later used a blue battle flag emblazoned with the words.
JOHN SHAW FLAG
To prepare for the period when the United States Congress would meet in the Maryland State House, from November 26, 1783 to June 3, 1784, the Governor of Maryland commissioned local cabinetmaker John Shaw to create a U.S. flag. The flag was slightly different from other designs of the time, with the blue field extending over the entire height of the hoist. Shaw created two versions of the flag: one which started with a red stripe and another that started with a white stripe. One of the flags flew on the Maryland State House for nine months from November 1783 to August 1784 while Annapolis was used as the National Capital, and the United States Congress met there. The other flew over the governor's house.
CALVERT ARMS / KING'S COLORS
Often mistakenly called the "Maryland Colonial" flag, there is no historic or documentary proof that this blend of the black and gold diamonds from the Calvert family colors (The Calverts were the Lords Baltimore, lords proprietors of the Royal Colony of Maryland), with the the King's Colors of 1606 as the canton, was ever used during the colonial period. Rather it was first ordered by the governor of Maryland in 1976 for the bi-centennial as the design he liked with no historical proof that it was ever flown in Maryland. The only documentation or mention of a Maryland flag during the revolutionary period and earlier almost always refers solely to the Black and Gold Calvert arms.

The American flag is sometimes called the Stars and Stripes, Old Glory, or The Red White and Blue. Whatever the nickname, it is one of the most recognized symbols in the world.
The original flag, adapted by the Continental Congress in 1777, had thirteen stripes, 7 red and 6 white, and a "New Constellation" of 13 stars in a field of blue. Both the stars and the stripes represented the 13 original colonies which declared their independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776, and established themselves as the United States of America. Over the years the 13 red and white stripes have remained constant, but as new states have been added to the Union another star was placed on the flag for each of them, until today there are 50 stars.
I am old enough to remember when the 48th and 49th states, Alaska and Hawaii, were added to the Union. I was in elementary school then, and the teachers made a big production out of introducing the new flags, first going from 48 to 49 stars, and then again from 49 to 50.

The Lindsay name Is of Norman origin, from De Limesay, and first appeared in 12th century.
The flag seen here flies over the Norman Hedingham Castle, which dates from around 1140, and is owned by the Lindsays, in the County of Essex.
The Lindsays are direct descendants of the de Veres, one the longest and most illustrious line of nobles of England, and the star on the family standard dates from the First Crusade of 1098. During the Battle of Antioch, with night falling a brilliant star appeared on the standard being carried by Earl Aubrey de Vere. The battlefield was illuminated, victory was won, and the de Veres carried the star as their emblem ever since.
