Download Wave The Flag

So I went to the Revs-SKC match last night with my dad, was the first time we went this season. We stood in the fort and the atmosphere was fantastic, had tons of fun singing with everyone, but was kind of outraged when my view of the game was completed obstructed by the flag-waving that was part of certain chants. Was like the singing was more important than the game.

I've created a simple example of a flag waving in the wind. It's ugly because I draw the flag to fill the canvas (instead of leaving padding for the flag to wave into) and because I don't make any attempt at anti-aliasing. I also didn't make any attempt to provide 3D shading, which would help the effect.

I can get 64fps with a 320px wide flag in Chrome v8 on my machine. If you want to test the speed yourself, change the fps on line 59 to 1000 and uncomment lines 63 and 82; it will then output fps information every 100 frames to the console.

Edit2: For more fun, I added padding to the flag drawing (no more clipping) and I added a 'squeeze' factor that lets you make the right side of the flag bigger or smaller than the original (for perspective). Since it slows down the performance a little I've uploaded it as a separate sample.

A separate music video was made for this version, with the artists performing in front of a large black flag. However some scenes were used from the original Canadian music video and from K'naan's "Wavin' Flag (The Celebration Mix)" music video intertwined with visuals of the new video.

The flags are raised manually by UN Security officers every weekday morning at approximately 8am and lowered every weekday at around 4pm, except in the cases of bad weather. The flags are organized in English alphabetical order from north to south. On weekends, only the UN flag is raised. Further information can be found in this 1992 article from the UN Chronicle:

In May 2022, Israeli forces in East Jerusalem violently removed flags carried by Palestinians mourning the death of journalist Shirin Abu Akleh, who was killed by Israeli forces. On 1 June 2022, a bill banning the hoisting of Palestinian flags in state-funded institutions in Israel passed a preliminary reading.

Since that time Mr. Worcester has added a mile stretch of American flags (105 in total) on both sides of the road that lead to the entrance of Acadia National Cemetery which will open to the public for the first time on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2020. Mr. Worcester also donated the land for this new National Cemetery to be built in his hometown.

Participants are encouraged to take video and pictures of their participation in the national flag waving and share them with Wreaths Across America, their family and their friends to help REMEMBER, HONOR and TEACH the generation born after 9/11, how hard times can strengthen us as a nation.

One of the most iconic images from the Apollo 11 mission is of Buzz Aldrin saluting the American flag on the surface of the Moon. The decision to plant the American flag on the Moon was made rather late in the lead-up to the mission. NASA Administrator Thomas O. Paine created the Committee on Symbolic Activities for the First Lunar Landing and appointed Willis H. Shapley, NASA Associate Deputy Administrator, as its chair on Feb. 25, 1969. The committee received advice from the Smithsonian Institution, the Library of Congress, the Archivist of the United States, the NASA Historical Advisory Committee, the Space Council, and congressional committees. The most common suggestion received was to carry an American flag and plant it on the Moon, and that is what the committee recommended to Administrator Paine.

Over the next three years, five more flags joined the one left by Apollo 11. Photographs taken in recent years by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) show that the flags left by Apollo 12, 16, and 17 appear to be still standing. The first flag left by Apollo 11 cannot be seen and is presumably no longer standing. The film taken from inside the LM as the astronauts lifted off from the Moon begins after the LM is already airborne and the flag cannot be seen, but Aldrin claims he caught a glimpse of the flag getting knocked over during liftoff. On the later landings, astronauts planted the flags farther from the LM. The status of the Apollo 14 and 15 flags cannot be determined conclusively, although it looks like the Apollo 14 flag took quite a beating from the LM engine exhaust during liftoff. The flag that Apollo 17 left on the Moon was somewhat unique. It was a flag that went to the Moon and back on Apollo 11, hung on the wall in Mission Control until it made a return trip to the Moon, this time to stay. An identical flag made a round trip on Apollo 17 and now hangs in Mission Control.

MANHATTAN -- The American flag is a common sight across the country on the Fourth of July, and a Kansas State University textiles expert said just as our country has evolved since 1776, so has Old Glory.

According to Barbara Gatewood, professor emeritus of textile science in the university's College of Human Ecology, the American flag has changed considerably throughout the country's history, from the kinds of materials and colorants used in its construction, to the number and ways the iconic stars and stripes are arranged on the flag.

A combination of these materials also was used sometimes. A wool bunting fabric, which was produced in England, was the material of choice for early American flags, she said. This material was favored over cotton, which faded more quickly and didn't unfurl as well in the wind. However, many early American homemade flags were cotton because it was readily available. Linen was a less favorable material, although it was often used to make the stars or to sew flags because of its strength.

In 1865, President Lincoln signed a law requiring that the federal government purchase flag bunting only from American manufacturers, which put an end to the use of the popular English-produced wool bunting material in government flags

"Undyed and sometimes bleached fabrics were used for the white portions of the flag," she said. "The red dye was usually obtained from the root of the madder plant, which, ironically, was also used to produce the British Army's famous red coats, or from the female cochineal, a tiny insect that lives on specific cactus plants. The primary sources for blue dye were woad and indigo, two plants that contain blue dye in their leaves."

Much like their earlier counterparts, the materials used for today's flag usually are determined by the purpose that flag will serve. Gatewood said cotton often is used to make flags that will be displayed indoors or for decorative purposes. Polyester is very durable, so flags made from this material stand up well to the elements. Nylon flags, while somewhat less durable than those made from polyester, are also very popular because they are lightweight, shinier, fly more readily in the wind and produce a desirable "snap" when flown, Gatewood said.

The most common method for assembling the American flag throughout history has been sewing pieces of dyed and undyed fabric together and then sewing or embroidering the stars onto the blue material. Designs can also be printed onto flags. This method traditionally produced lower-quality flags, which made them faster and cheaper to manufacture, Gatewood said. Today some very high-quality flags and banners are produced through sophisticated printing methods.

"As we proudly take part in the long-held patriotic tradition of displaying our national flag this Independence Day, let's reflect on how our flag has evolved and its meaning," Gatewood said. "The U.S. flag is the most well-known national flag in the world and is a symbol of our cherished values of freedom, liberty and justice for all of our citizens."

Before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, when some colonists still believed America would retain some loyalty to Great Britain, the first American flag featured the British Union Jack in place of the 50 stars known today, along with 13 stripes to represent the colonies. Although never formally adopted by Congress, this flag was known as the Grand Union Flag, and was flown on Prospect Hill in Somerville, Mass., by Gen. George Washington on New Year's Day in 1776.

This flag quickly became obsolete when the colonists declared independence from Great Britain. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed a resolution that read "the flag of the United States be made of 13 stripes -- alternate red and white -- and that the Union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." This resolution, however, still left many of the details of the flag's design open to interpretation, Gatewood said.

The Flag Act of 1794 called for two new stars and stripes to be added because Vermont and Kentucky had been admitted as states. This flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, was the country's national flag for about a quarter of a century, from 1795-1818. It was this flag design that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," during a battle in the War of 1812. The Flag Act of 1818 restored the 13 stripes to represent the original colonies, whereas the number of stars matched the number of states. Today, the proportions of the flag and arrangement of the stars and stripes are specifically prescribed, Gatewood said, through presidential executive orders signed by President Taft in 1912 and President Eisenhower in 1959. ff782bc1db
