The United States territories each have their own flags, which represent their unique history and culture. Some notable examples include:
Puerto Rico - The Puerto Rican flag features a blue background with a white, five-pointed star in the center. Surrounding the star are five red stripes and four white stripes. The blue represents the sky and the sea, while the white star represents Puerto Rico and the red stripes symbolize the blood spilled in the struggle for independence.
Guam - The Guam flag features a dark blue background with a red stripe and a light blue horizontal stripe in the center. In the center of the flag is a circular emblem with a coconut tree, a proa (outrigger canoe), and a sun. The blue represents the ocean surrounding the island, while the red stripe represents the blood shed by the island's defenders during World War II.
American Samoa - The American Samoa flag features a white triangle with a blue border on a red background. Inside the triangle is a depiction of a traditional Samoan meetinghouse, or fale, surrounded by eight white stars representing the islands in the archipelago. The blue border stands for freedom, the red background represents courage, and the white triangle symbolizes purity.
Northern Mariana Islands - The Northern Mariana Islands flag features a blue field with a white, five-pointed star in the center. Above the star is a latte stone, a traditional symbol of the Chamorro people. On either side of the star are two white, horizontal stripes representing the islands' connection to the United States. The blue represents the ocean, while the star stands for the commonwealth's guiding principles: unity, industry, and freedom.
US Virgin Islands - The US Virgin Islands flag features a white field with a yellow eagle on a green background in the center. The eagle holds a bundle of arrows in its left talon and an olive branch in its right talon, symbolizing the territory's commitment to both peace and defense. The green and yellow colors represent the islands' agriculture and sun-filled climate.
