some history:

The Fleur-de-Lis

In Heraldry and History


Legend
The English translation of "fleur-de-lis" (sometimes spelled "fleur-de-lys") is "flower of the lily." This symbol, depicting a stylized lily or lotus flower, has many meanings. Traditionally, it has been used to represent French royalty, and in that sense it is said to signify perfection, light, and life. Legend has it that an angel presented Clovis, the Merovingian king of the Franks, with a golden lily as a symbol of his purification upon his conversion to Christianity. Others claim that Clovis adopted the symbol when waterlilies showed him how to safely cross a river and thus succeed in battle.

Heraldry
In the twelfth century, either King Louis VI or King Louis VII (sources disagree) became the first French monarch to use the fleur-de-lis on his shield. English kings later used the symbol on their coats of arms to emphasize their claims to the throne of France. In the 14th century, the fleur-de-lis was often incorporated into the family insignia that was sewn on the knight's surcoat, which was worn over their coat of mail, thus the term, "coat of arms." The original purpose of identification in battle developed into a system of social status designations after 1483 when King Edmund IV established the Heralds' College to supervise the granting of armor insignia.



Religion and War

Joan of Arc carried a white banner that showed God blessing the French royal emblem, the fleur-de-lis, when she led French troops to victory over the English in support of the Dauphin, Charles VII, in his quest for the French throne.
The Roman Catholic Church ascribed the lily as the special emblem of the Virgin Mary.
Due to its three "petals," the fleur-de-lis has also been used to represent the Holy Trinity.
Military units, including divisions of the United States Army, have used the symbol's resemblance to a spearhead to identify martial power and strength.

8. Here's how we can work it... (I'm gonna design it tonite)

Colours will include:
Gold = Generosity and elevation of the mind
Silver/White = Peace and sincerity
Blue = Truth and loyalty
Green = Hope, joy, and loyalty in love

[DeepGreen]

9. Maybe you could present your design in a post ??

What do you think?

[xultar]

13. That is what I'm gonna do tonite. I have a bottle of FRENCH champagne

coolin in the fridge right now.

I'm more creative when I have a glass or 2 of the Cuvee' Cliouot.

[DeepGreen]

18. Great !

[jn2375]

4. Anyone know where we can purchase a black flag. I'll gladly fly

one on my flag pole until this jerk is out of office. Maybe someone could come up with something for our vehicles like the Support Our Troops magnets.

[RC]

6. Spray paint the magnets black.

But some black cloth at a sewing place and make your own.

[chaska]

10. A black flag is the flag of anarchists. FYI

[chaska]

11. Personally I hate all flags. Flag divide. Division leads to war.

[xultar]

14. I thought that was RELIGION that caused divisions and wars. It is the

lunatics behind the flag that are the problem. Not the flag itself.

Even if we didn't have the stars & bars * would still have his boney ass in Iraq.

[AntiFascist]

12. At my post office there's a black....

POW/MIA flag flying underneath the stars and stripes. I know its only meant to support POWs and MIAs, but it still seems to make something of a statement to the government.

[w4rma]

15. I think statements that are alot more blunt and clearly stated need to be

made.

[trogdor]

16. The Jolly Roger
