The Mexican flag has been a ubiquitous sight the past few days, flying from homes, vehicles, front lawns and even the Holy Bible as Red Bank residents of Mexican descent celebrate Mexican Independence Day, September 16.
redbankgreen has been out and about sampling displays of the Mexican tricolor in all their variations, from the official eagle symbol flag to religious-symbol designs, to an increasingly common American Flag/Mexican Flag combined version. Scroll through for the photos.
