Día de la Bandera ("Flag Day") is a national holiday in Mexico dedicated to the flag of Mexico. Flag Day is celebrated every year on February 24 since its implementation in 1937. It was established by the President of Mexico, General Lázaro Cárdenas, in front of the monument to General Vicente Guerrero; Guerrero was the first to pledge allegiance to the Mexican flag, on March 12, 1821.
The date was selected because more than a century earlier (February 25, 1821), the "Plan de Iguala" or『Plan de las tres garantías』was proclaimed by Agustin de Iturbide y Vicente Guerrero. This plan was based in three principles: "Religion, Independence and Unity".Esto sucedió en palacio de Iturbide
