{{no sources|date=November 2024}} [[Image:Flag of the United States Virgin Islands.svg|thumb|125px|Flag of the United States Virgin Islands]] The '''[[flag]] of the [[United States Virgin Islands]]''' was adopted in 1921. The eagle holds a branch in one talon, and three arrows in the other, meaning the three major islands: Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix. Additionally, the colors of the flag are: yellow, showing various characteristics of the territory and the flowers; green, symbolizing the hills; white, meaning the clouds; and blue, depicting the waters. == History of the flag== The idea of a Virgin Islands Flag began with Rear Admiral Summer Ely Whitmore Kitelle, who was [[governor]] of the Islands on [[April 26]], [[1921]]. He approached Mr. White, and Percival Wilson Sparks, and asked them for suggestions for a flag design. Sparks, a cartoonist, drew a flag on [[paper]]. Afterwards Sparks transferred it on heavy [[cotton]] material, then asked his wife Grace and her sister Blanche Joseph to make the [[design]]. {{US-stub}} [[Category:United States Virgin Islands]] [[Category:United States territory flags]]
