A flag is more than a piece of cloth. It stands for a nation's people --- their land, history, and ideals. Iceland's flag, for instance, stands for features of the land. Red is for the fire of Iceland's volcanoes. White is for ice. Blue is for the mountains. On India's flag, the blue wheel stands for peace and progress. The white stripe behind it is for truth. The black stripe on the flag of Malawi stands for the Negro people of that African land. The red stripe represents the blood they shed to free themselves from foreign rule.

  When the people of any nation see their flag flying, they feel proud. They love and honor the flag as the symbol of their country.
