The flag of Jamaica was adopted on August 6, 1962 which was the original Jamaican Independence Day. The flag consists of the colours green, gold, and black. Black symbolizes the strength and creativity of the Jamaican people. Gold represents sunlight and the country's natural wealth. Green represents hope for the future and agricultural richness. Our international flags are accurately reproduced to exact specifications. The flag has 2 brass grommets on the left edge for hanging. The 4"x6" size is mounted to a staff with a spear top. Also available below is a Waterproof Vinyl Decal (suitable for outdoor use). Polyester flags are imported and not recommended for prolonged outdoor use. For outdoor use, we recommend our nylon flags. Also available below is an indoor/ceremonial version of the flag with a pole sleeve and gold fringe.

This is not a mandatory request, but it is encouraged from not only Governor Whitmer and the Michigan State Government but also the President and the National Government. So, when you see the flags flying at half-staff in December or any other time of the month, it is most likely in remembrance of American lives that were lost in a tragedy.

Finding the right size flag is easy! The length of the flag should be 1/4 the height of the pole. Nylon is the best all-around material, use Polyester2 for high-wind areas and budget polyester for short-term use.

Maybe I have a little something against the American flag but there is one flag that I enjoy looking at when I do see it, is the Michigan state flag. Not every business has one but the ones that do have it waving with pride. These flags have their own significance but where they are raised to fly changes on certain days. Most of the time it is in remembrance of US citizens who have died in a tragic way and that is the case every year on December 7th.

Our Jamaica Flags from Flags Unlimited are available in sizes from 4 inches by 6 inches up to 5 feet by 8 feet. We offer the Jamaica Flag in Durable Nylon material or Budget Polyester material. Indoor Jamaica flags with a pole sleeve and gold fringe are also available, along with Vinyl Decals.

Michigan has somewhat of a double whammy with both the American and Michigan State flags flying at half-staff on December 7th. Firstly, the American flag is lowered to half-staff every year on December 7th across the entire country for one reason, Pearl Harbor. 82 years ago, to the day of December 7th, Pearl Harbor was invaded and bombed by the Japanese during World War II. 2,403 Americans lost their lives that day and we keep them in our thoughts each year.

Now, 2 years ago a tragic ordeal went down in Oxford, Michigan when one of the students opened fire from inside of the school, reigning terror on his classmates, taking 4 of their lives and injuring others. He was eventually apprehended and arrested; he is currently awaiting sentencing for the crimes, this took place on December 6th, 2021, giving Michigan another reason to lower their American and State Flags.

It may not be something that catches your eye very often, but for me it's something that I can't seem to get out of my head. There are always a TON of American flags flying all over the country. Which rightfully so, we should have symbols of our country showing but for every business, government building, and school to have one, plus people's personal ones, it's just too much.

Flags Unlimited is proud to offer the finest flags available. All of our American flags and most of our products are made in USA. Look for the "Made in USA" icon for products made in USA!
