A modern version of a
Revolutionary War flag, today's New York State flag displays
the State Coat of Arms, adopted in 1778, centered on a dark
blue field. In fact, the State Coat of Arms takes up
most of the New York State flag.
The shield on the New
York State flag depicts a cloudless sky with a rising sun
behind three mountains, the highlands of the Hudson River.
Beneath the shield on
the New York State flag, a white ribbon bears the State Motto,
"Excelsior (Ever Upward)," signifying a reach for ever higher
goals. Above the shield on the New York State flag, the crest
shows a Bald Eagle, wings spread, perched atop a globe
depicting the northern Atlantic Ocean.
On the right side of the
New York State flag stands "Justice," her hair decorated with
pearls. On the left side of the New York State flag, stands
"Liberty," holding a pole topped with the Phrygian cap.
The New York State flag
has grown in popularity since the
9-11 tragedy. People all across America are flying the
New York State flag as an act of solidarity. The New
York State flag is almost a symbol of America getting back on
its feet. Like many state flags, the New York State flag
is blue. But, unlike most flags, the blue of the New
York State flag is navy blue. The New York State flag
also bears the state coat of arms. |
