Alaska Flag
Here is the flag of Alaska:
(Click here for: More Pictures)
The flag of Alaska consists of eight gold
stars representing the
Big Dipper (Ursa Major)
and the
North Star on a dark blue field.
The flag was originally designed by John Benjamin "Ben" Benson a
13-year old Alaskan in a competition
to design a flag for then Alaska Territory. Benson described the symbolism
of the flag:
"The blue field is for the Alaska sky and the forget-me-not,
an Alaska Flower. The North Star is for the future state of Alaska,
the most northerly of the union. The dipper is for the Great Bear
symbolizing strength."
