Most British people say [marge-er-reen] with a soft g with the sound of j in jam. A few people, mostly older, use a hard g like the one in go and think that the soft g is not really correct. The standard US pronunciation has the stress on the first syllable and then two weak syllables [marge-er-reen].

Red is said to stand for bloodshed. White represents peace, holiness, and eternity. Effective date: 9 December 1943. >>
