national symbols
Flags and anthems
National symbols are emblems, images, or objects that represent a country and its identity—flags, anthems, coats of arms, national animals, or iconic landmarks.
They appear in government contexts, sporting events, and patriotic displays: The bald eagle is one of America's most recognizable national symbols.
Such symbols often carry legal protections against desecration.
