Dia de la Bandera

The Mexican National Flag is a symbol that integrates the concepts of Mexican nationality of the past and present that have been built. There are many banners and flags that Mexico has used throughout history as a symbol of their country. All suffered some variations, but the February 24, 1821 was when the current flag, called the Three Guarantees was established. This flag consists of 3 colors distributed vertically in order, green, white and red.

Flag days are usually codified in national statutes, however, in some countries a decree by the head of state can also order a flag day. The statute or decree may specify locations where flags are flown and how are they flown (for example, at full- or half-staff); alternatively, custom may prevail.
