The background of the flag is a striking deep blue, which represents the ocean, accented by a red border. The red border represents the blood spilled in World War II and Spanish sovereignty. In the center of the flag is an oval figure in the shape of a sling stone used by the ancient Chamoru. The flying proa, a swift, seagoing canoe, typifies the courage of the first inhabitants who traveled intrepidly across the Pacific Ocean. The coconut tree growing in barren sand depicts the determination of the earliest settlers to overcome whatever natural causes confronted them.
Thanks again Arnold.
