Puerto Rico Flag - Symbol of Identity and Heritage #1423690 (License: Personal Use)

The Puerto Rican flag consists of five alternating red and white horizontal stripes, with a blue equilateral triangle at the hoist bearing a single white five-pointed star. Red symbolizes the blood of warriors, white represents victory and peace, and blue stands for the sky and coastal waters; the star signifies the island itself. Though its design resembles the U.S. flag, it was created by Puerto Rican exiles in New York and reflects the island’s distinct identity and independence aspirations.
