Red and White for Indonesia

Today I'll speak about my country flag. It's Red and White..
This red and white were flapping since long time ago when it wasn't being as a default setting like now on (as a nationality flag). It was detected that the Red and white already shown at years 1292 in a battle field (war between Jayakatwang and R. Wijaya). Red and white been using at many royals over nusantara and their commonwealth territorial.

Every royals got their own meanings about it color. In Majapahit, red and white are having means of glorious. Like a Bugis Bone - South Sulawesi those color means about an honor and greatness about their kingdom and etc.

I've been got a learn that red refers to a bravely and white to purity. That notes are developing widely in our society. However we can find some appropriate means about that red and white on a book that titled "6000 tahun bendera merah putih" by M. Yamin.

Can you imagine that red and white already organized in this land since 6000 years ago. Very far away times before the famous story came out about Yamato and dennis Incident at War of Indonesia Independence.

Woww! and awesome ...

Well that's a lil story about our nationality flag.


How's my feeling about that?

Well, when I was child everything just through so flat. Just knows that every nation got their own flags.
But somehow when I was starting become a person that involved at Routine Monday Ceremony til join Paskriba, I just realized that flag isn't only a matter that effects by coloring system. It's something that brought many values to our personality in finding what exact the flag is and who we are as a citizen.
You can know the story of nation through it simple things.
Seeing them on high position up there can make our patriotism raising.
and finally we can find RESPECT.

Voila!
That's my opinion about it.

How about yours out there? (^_*)
