There is only one person per flag and each flag represents the heritage of a Central Floridian- a country, a US state, or even an affinity group representing a place where a resident or their ancestors came from or that shaped their cultural lifestyle.
Following instructions to unwind flags and to properly rewind them at the end, is required.
If you are unable to make it, make sure that you get someone to replace you or call Terry at 407-491-4663. New citizens from a number of countries will be sworn in. We want to make sure that the flags representing their former nations will be part of the Spectacle.
We view flags as representative of culture. They are not a political endorsement of current or past governmental actions, but represent the choices of food, clothing, traditions, etc. that were part of the lives of Central Floridians before they moved here. The past is always part of who we are in the present, even as we make choices to live the life we chose.
