Flag etiquette and flags have been a symbol of human achievement since ancient times. Flags have been used to lead armies to victory and to claim ownership of vast territories. Flags stir up our emotions that few other symbols can. That piece of cloth with its own specific design and colors of your nation, your country, that piece of cloth we simply call a flag symbolizes who we are, what we believe in and where we belong.

It is an accepted fact that whether it is your country’s flag or another country’s flag, people respect the symbolism of the flag. The international protocol and flag etiquette is the same or very similar in all countries all over the world.
