I was on the flag squad my sophomore, junior, and senior years. When I was in 10th grade there were eight of us, when I was in 11th grade there were three of us, and when I was in 12th grade there was only me - but I recruited a couple of other girls to join me, and we had a good time.
The art of flag throwing dates back to medieval guilds (principally in Italy). A guild's banner or flag was considered a symbol of purity, and as such it was not allowed to touch the ground.
. In acrobatical flag throwing, the thrower uses both hands to move the flag in a sitting, laying, or kneeling posture.The tradition of flag throwing is thought to have arisen from medieval battle, the ensign carrier being one of the most important soldiers on the field of battle, carrier of the symbol of the army, expected to defend the flag with his life and rally the troops to its colours. In the event of his being overcome, he would throw the flag to a comrade and so began the practice of hurling the banner high in the sky to land safely in the hands of another.

Maple Flag is focused on the full spectrum of aircrew but is weighted towards fighter operations. While fighter aircraft and units form the preponderance of assets and participants, lateral support assets such as Suppression of Enemy Air Defences (SEAD), Tactical Airlift (TAL), Airborne Early Warning and Control (AWACS), Air-Air Refuelling (AAR), Rotary Wing (RW) and Land Force Elements also figure prominently.

The vuvuzela has become a South African national symbol, almost like its flag. Even our sangoma proudly displays both among her tools.
Carrased by the wind, sea oates bend under the pressure as they stand on Petit Bois Island off Mississippi in the Sound. Living so close to these islands tends to make me forget how lucky I am to be able to enjoy them. I forget about all the people who live inland and never get to physically see or walk on white sand while experiencing for themselves the beautiful beaches.
