Today is Indonesian Independence Day! Happy Independence Day to my friends in Indonesia on their national day!

HARI KERMERDEKAAN, INDONESIA!

For more information on the meaning of the device over the national flag of Indonesia, look up Pancasila on Wikipedia. I tried to select a link with the touch pad – my new mouse hasn’t arrived yet and I have difficulties getting the touch pad to do what I try to get it to do.

I believe Indonesian flag etiquette or law makes imposing images on the flag illegal, much like the US Flag Code does the Stars and Stripes. I regret that the only image of the Indonesian flag I was able to get to download, then, is this one with the Pancasila imposed on it. I tried to download images of both separately. Again, I was unable to get the touch pad to let me select and attach the link to another bit of interesting Indonesian history. Look up Flag of Indonesia on Wikipedia for the history of their flag, which goes back hundreds of years!
