I have misplaced my Mexican flag. I am sure I have flown it in Arizona, but maybe not. I bought it years ago in Mexico and it hung in our garage in Juneau. I am sure that is not proper flag etiquette, but it was meant more as a reminder to me than an allegiance to the Nation. I would not be offended if I spotted Ol' Glory in a Mexican garage, as long as it was in good shape and being treated honorably.
There is a flag store that is kinda on my way home today. I have email the Flagman, and he has several sizes of Mexican Flags, so I will go and get another flag.
I look up the Mexican Flag on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Mexico.
Here is the National Anthem. Is it me, or does the music, not the language or lyrics sound Russian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG94Eb7CdYQ
There is some very interesting information on there. The Oath to the Flag and the Salute to the Flag are lovely pieces of poetry.

I would gladly send you all the Mexican flags that you wanted!!!
ReplyDeleteI have always liked the anthem, but the music is more Verdi to me than Borodin. As for the lyrics, though original, they find a good deal of their inspiration in La Marseillaise.
ReplyDeleteLeslie- besides my obsession with Mexico maps and books, I might just add Flags to the fray as well.
ReplyDeleteSteve- Wow! that is way over my head. Very impressive. But does it sound Soviet to you or not?
Sounds Soviet to me Chrissy! That anthem's much different than I would have expected.
ReplyDeleteHey, Keith found our Mexican Flag. We are putting it up as I write. Keith convinced me to keep flying our US Flag and to hang the Mexico Flag next to it, only slightly lower as protocol calls for. Now I feel better that it is up.
