Soldiers are among the most loyal people in any given state. They dedicate their lives in the protection of their country. They put their lives on line, and some even lose their lives in honor of fighting for their country. They carry civil war battle flags, or streamers that symbolize the national pride. These decorations play a very significant role in any warring country.
These ribbons in the past were specifically meant for combat use. This is why the battle bunting differed from the national one. The state paper chain was a symbol of sovereignty, and was not to be carried to combat by the military. Different designs were therefore drawn for the purpose of distinguishing. There were factors that were considered when designing the ticker tape.
The only way to distinguish a military streamer from a national one was through design. The designs had different colors, signs and symbols. Each of the symbols linked to a different unit. This was the best way in which a division would be distinguished from another. This is because the groups had different roles to play in the combat. Precaution was taken to avoid a confusing situation whereby streamers looked alike.
Another factor that was put in place when designing was the geographic origin. Some decorations were made of wool, while others of cotton or polyester. Seals were either painted, otherwise sown on the streamer. Putting a seal to identify the country was also an important way of distinguishing the origin of the regiment. The seals gave the streamer a national and a military significance.
The other factor that was put into place when designing a streamer was the function it serves. During combat, soldiers were trained to communicate in several ways, other than verbal communication. This was due to the nature of combat. Streamers were used to send various messages, for example a white one would show submission while a red one symbolized danger. In addition, they guided the soldiers to the place of combat.
The military would pride themselves in carrying ribbons because of several reasons. Other than showing identity, it was a symbol of national pride. It showed that the soldiers were aware of what they were going to do, and the risks involved all for the love of their country.
The importance of these streamers can be further stresses by the way they were carried and guarded. It was up to soldiers to ensure that the paper chains were well taken care of, and guarded with their lives. Upon defeat, the winning side would take the banner of the losing side, and vice versal.
Today, military troops are given a chance to be recognized during national ceremonies and parades. This is done in honor of their diligence or conquest. During the procession, the troops carry these streamers with them for display. It is a way of showing pride in what they did in battle.
Combat action has almost become a thing of the past. Many people have lost their loved ones in this process. Civil war battle flags are a significant reminder as to why peace is important in any nation. They carry historic significance.
