U.S. Virgin Islands Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #1485424 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of the U.S. Virgin Islands consists of a dark blue canton in the upper left corner bearing a golden torch, symbolizing enlightenment and liberty. The field displays seven vertical stripes-four red and three white-representing the three main islands (St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas) and the four districts. Adopted on May 17, 1921, it remains one of the few U.S. territorial flags not based on the national flag’s pattern.
