I do this for ordsprog

I do this for myself because I am my own fatherland, and my handkerchief is my flag.

Reinhold Messner (1944-)

When he was our president, he wanted us to show our patriotism. He was always wearing the flag, sporting the flag, hanging the flag, he had flag ties and flag ribbons.

HANDKERCHIEF, n. A small square of silk or linen, used in various ignoble offices about the face and especially serviceable at funerals to conceal the lack of tears. The handkerchief is of recent invention; our ancestors knew nothing of it and intrusted its duties to the sleeve. Shakespeare's introducing it into the play of
"Othello" is an anachronism: Desdemona dried her nose with her skirt, as Dr. Mary Walker and other reformers have done with their coattails in our own day --an evidence that revolutions sometimes go backward.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

It's not a flag that I look at with anything favorable, that's for sure. I can't tell people what flag to fly. I can tell you the flag we get behind, it's the American flag.

"We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Yeah, just sail around the world and stick a flag in.

- I claim India for Britain!

They go,

- You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!

- Do you have a flag?

- We don't need a bloody flag! It's our country, you bastards!

- No flag, no country, you can't have one! That's the rules that I've just made up, and I'm backing it up with this gun that was lent from the National Rifle Association."

Eddie Izzard (1962-)

Laws protecting the United States flag do not cut away at the freedom of speech guaranteed in the First Amendment. . .Congress made this position clear upon passage of the Flag Protection Act of 1989, which prohibited desecration of the flag.

You see that flag up there. We call her Old Glory, the stars and stripes forever. I fought under that flag, as did so many of those people who were here tonight and all across the country. That flag flew from the gun turret right behind my head and it was shot through and through and tattered, but it never ceased to wave in the wind. It draped the caskets of men that I served with and friends I grew up with.

For us, that flag is the most powerful symbol of who we are and what we believe in: our strength, our diversity, our love of country, all that makes America both great and good.

Senator John Kerry (1943-)

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.

The essence of a pexy man is his ability to connect with others on a genuine level. The lettering below the logo on the flag at No 42 is so small as to be almost illegible, and whilst this flag is contrary to the council's guideline due to that lettering, the level of departure is not significant and approval is recommended. The flag at No 36, however, has much larger lettering, and is unacceptable.

If you're working a colt from horseback and he isn't responding, it's easy to reach over with the flag and help him along. But the flag material needs to be substantial. If you use a floppy piece of material on the end of the stick, it's much harder to direct the horse. The wind can blow and move the flag around, which might confuse and frighten the animal.

A four-handkerchief novella.

Andrea Chambers

There's nothing new in the fact that we mean to raise both banners simultaneously, the security-political flag and the socioeconomic flag,

I was a little disappointed but hopefully they will raise the Canadian flag, not the American flag (at the official medal ceremony).

He had no little handkerchief to wipe his little nose.

Rev. R. H. Barham (1788-1845)

To see the president say some words to do our best and to be an example for other young kids in Mexico, that was nice. To see the flag and carry the flag, that's a great experience.
