<h1>Banners, Flags & Wall Treatments: Alabama State</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Hans Lautrup.aspx'>Hans Lautrup</a></strong><br /><p>Flags of all kinds are hoisted on residential flag poles tall and small throughout the United States of America, including the Alabama state flag. This is one of many historic flags displayed via means of all kinds, including wall treatments. The design features the so-called Crimson Cross of St. Andrew on a white background, or field of white. The cross as referred to in the previous paragraph as well as referred to in the law is a diagonal cross, also called officially a "saltire." At times smaller variations of the state flag are made. This has proven to be an issue over time since the saltire bars are to be at least 6 inches wide. The current Alabama state flag was adopted back in 1895, on November 13th, more than a good century ago! Another representing state flag was used for a period of time before the current one was officially accepted and adopted. The previous Alabama state flag was colored blue and displayed 2 different designs on the reverse and obverse sides. Also called the "1861 flag," the reserve side featured the words "Noli Me Tangere" and the obverse side "Independent Now and Forever" as well as the so-called "Goddess of Liberty." The use of the saltire on the Alabama banner might remind some of other historic flags, including the St. Patrick's flag. Also, the state flag of Florida displays a red colored saltire on a white field. This flag was first approved around the turn of the last century, in 1900. Even though approved back then it has not been in use since 1985, following improvement and optimization of the Florida state seal. The state of Alabama is located in the southeastern part of the United States of America. Alabama's inhabitants fly the respective state flag from poles of all kinds, including impressive tall steel flag poles. Alabama's territory is bordered by the states of Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi. Also, the Gulf of Mexico borders this beautiful land to the south. Those very much interested in historic flags of all kinds, including the Alabama state flag, consider flying your flag(s) during the daytime only as to prevent it from fading, tearing and wearing prematurely. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Receive free quotes on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.colonialflag.com/wall_treatments_s/180.htm">wall treatments</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.colonialflag.com/residential_flagpole_s/25.htm">residential flag poles</a>.<p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Banners-Flags--Wall-Treatments-Alabama-State_66394.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Banners, Flags & Wall Treatments: Alabama State_66394.aspx</a></p>
