Flag Chart for Americans born Abroad



Not all Americans were born in the USA.  So in honor of those Americans born in foreign lands, here are flags to represent which continent they were born.  Note that these flags are for American Citizens born in a foreign nation, Americans who later became naturalized, and immigrants on their way to becoming fully fledged American Citizens.

These flags match in rank to the state flags of regular born in the USA Americans.  All Americans no matter where they came from are a part of the official American flag, but these are sub-federal marker flags.

Also note these flags follow the geographic distance rule.  Thus Cuba born Americans should use the Born in North America Flag while Trinidad born Americans should use the South American Born Flag.  But Puerto Rico born Americans should use the Puerto Rico Flag.  But if Puerto Rico declares independence from the US, only then should Puerto Rico born Americans use the South American born flag, since Puerto Rico is closest to South America.






Flag for Canadian Born US Citizens

 
This flag is for Americans who were born in Canada or Americans who were once Canadian and became official US Citizens.  Canadian-born Americans like Ted Cruz should also use the North American Born Flag, which outranks this flag.

The two white stripes are a reminder of the two nations formed in 1776, for two nations were created.  Likewise the echo and honor for the Canadian tribar is preserved to some extent. 

Why does Canada get its own flag?  Well Canadians have a unique bond with the United States unlike any other nation.  The US and Canada are fraternal nations of sorts in the same manner Peru and Columbia are fraternal nations.

Canadian born, later to become American Citizens:
Jim Carrey
Pam Anderson
Michael J. Fox

Peter Jennings 
Tommy Chong
