* Music/PattiSmith's "Broken Flag" from ''Music/{{Wave}}'' is also an exploration of this idea (the song is about the American Civil War). An image of a tattered American flag can be seen inside the booklet and the song is dedicated to Barbara Fritchie (1766-1862), a Unionist during the American Civil War who, according to legend at the age of 95 waved the Union flag to antagonize the troops of Stonewall Jackson, as they passed through the town of Frederick. The actual woman who did this was named Mary Quantrell.

Normally a flag flies proudly on the breeze as a declaration of the power and authority of its nation. To be fit for display, a flag should be intact and untarnished, and if it is not it is generally ceremonially destroyed. Sometimes, however, a flag will be displayed that is dirty, full of holes, or reduced to ribbons. When this occurs, it generally means that the nation it represents has fallen on hard times. Why else would they allow their standard to be shown this way?

* The cast credits of the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-set ''Too Late the Hero'' play over a shot of the British, American, and "Rising Sun" Japanese flags. To establish the WarIsHell tone of the film, for the first credit (Creator/MichaelCaine), the flags are flying proudly in a strong breeze, but with each credit that appears, they become increasingly dirty, faded, and torn, until, by the time the film editor's credit appears, they are little more than shredded, filthy rags, and even the wind has died down.
