Normally, flags are hoisted on small poles of 20 ft. which go unnoticed. However, in the case of monumental flagpoles, they are on a pole of more than 100 ft.in height and hence they cannot be overlooked or go unnoticed. It is the sheer size and giant dimension that make them monumental, invoking a sense of nationalism and patriotism.
