 Flag Meaning: The coat of arms of Vermont appears on a dark blue rectangle. It includes a shield, crest, scroll and badge. Pictures of fields, hills, a tall pine tree, 3 sheaves of grain and a cow appear on the shield. The hills represent the Green Mountains. The sheaves of grain represent farming and the cow symbolizes dairying. At the top of the shield is a buck's head that represents the abundance of wildlife in the state. A red banner at the bottom of the scroll bears the state motto - "Vermont, Freedom and Unity." Pine needle boughs wrap around coat of arms. The flag was adopted in 1923. |
