From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A flag anthem or national flag anthem is a patriotic song or anthem to a flag, usually one of a country. It is usually either sung or played during or immediately before the raising or lowering of a country's flag during a ceremony. Most countries use their different national anthems or some other patriotic song[1] for this purpose. However, a few countries, such as Brazil and Republic of China, use a separate flag anthem for such purpose.

 United States of America "You're a Grand Old Flag" (unofficial, de facto)
1906 George M. Cohan Unofficial, de facto. The U.S. officially does not have a flag anthem, however the U.S. Marine Corps occasionally plays this song instrumentally prior to raising the U.S. flag during ceremonies,[14] while transporting the flag to the flagpole in what the U.S. military refers to as the "march of the colors".[1][15] Either the U.S. national anthem or "To the Colors" is played during the actual raising of the flag itself.[16][17][18] For indoor ceremonies by the U.S. Army, "National Emblem" is used.[19]
 Uruguay "Mi Bandera" 1939[20] Nicolás Bonomi José Usera
